It's my understanding that in passing the 15-week limit, Republican legislators and the then-GOP governor of AZ inserted a provision specifically allowing previous state laws to kick in should Roe be overturned. So this was the outcome they wanted, and now they have it.

That should also be hyped up. I wasn't aware this was a feature, not a bug!!
If so, it's not statutory. https://www.azleg.gov/arsDetail/?title=36 See Chapter 23. 36-2322 set the 15 week limit.
It IS statutory.
The law reads: "This act does not ... repeal, by implication or otherwise, section 13-3603, Arizona Revised Statutes, or any other applicable state law regulating or restricting abortion."
Section 13-3603 is the 1864 law.
