HB2276 is a bill that expands the Governor of Arizona's authority to use the state militia. The bill allows the Governor to call all or part of the state militia into active duty for purposes such as repelling invasions, suppressing insurrections, enforcing state laws, guarding prisoners, and transporting prisoners within the state.

The bill also includes a provision that exempts members of the state militia, when called into active duty by the Governor for these purposes, from the certification requirements of the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST). This exemption means that militia members would not need to meet the usual certification standards that are typically required for peace officers in Arizona.
