There is no state building code other than a minimum code adopted by the Arizona Department of Health Services for licensed health care facilities.  Major jurisdictions in and around Phoenix have adopted the 2018 Editions of the codes. www.phoenix.gov/pdd/devcode/buildingcode
Phoenix adopted the 2018 editions.  
Since codes are adopted by jurisdiction and they are still on the 2012, 2015 or 2018 I Codes, adoption of IRC Section R302.13 is unknown. Phoenix did not include this provision in the update of their 2012 I Code adoption
