The proposed bill seeks to amend the definition of "Residential structure" in section 13-1211 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Currently, the definition describes a residential structure as a "movable or immovable or permanent or temporary structure that is adapted for human residence or lodging." The bill would update this definition by inserting the phrase "or both" after "human residence," thereby clarifying that a residential structure can be adapted for either human residence or lodging, or both.
Additionally, the bill removes the word "both" from the current statute, which may have caused ambiguity regarding the types of structures included in the definition. Overall, these changes aim to enhance clarity in the legal language surrounding residential structures in relation to assault and related offenses.
