The city of Scottsdale is considering legal action against the state of Arizona regarding the "Axon bill" that was passed by lawmakers this spring.

Scottsdale City Council has scheduled a special meeting Sept. 9, when it plans to vote on a resolution that would authorize the filing of a lawsuit against the state "to challenge the legality and constitutionality of Senate Bill 1543," according to an amended agenda for the city's Sept. 9 meeting.

Senate Bill 1543 was signed by Gov. Katie Hobbs on April 18, paving the way for Axon Enterprise Inc. to build its long-planned $1.3 billion Scottsdale headquarters campus. It is set to become law on Sept. 26, according to city of Scottsdale documents.
