The bill proposes an amendment to section 13-116 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the issue of double punishment for the same act or omission under different sections of the law. The current law states that an act or omission that is punishable in different ways by different sections can be punished under both, but sentences must be concurrent. Additionally, an acquittal or conviction under one section bars prosecution under any other section to the extent required by the U.S. Constitution or the state constitution.

The changes in the bill include minor language updates, replacing the word "which" with "that" and changing "require" to "requires" to reflect proper subject-verb agreement. These alterations do not substantively change the legal implications of the statute but rather clarify the language to ensure it is grammatically correct.
