The proposed bill amends section 13-3015 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to eavesdropping and communications. It updates the language regarding emergency situations where the attorney general or county attorney can authorize the interception of communications. Specifically, it changes the phrase "determines" to "determine" to ensure grammatical consistency.

Additionally, the bill introduces a significant change in subsection C, stating that if the prosecuting attorney fails to obtain authorization for the interception within forty-eight hours, the interception must terminate, and any communications intercepted without judicial authorization cannot be used as evidence in legal proceedings. However, it clarifies that this prohibition does not apply to communications intercepted against those who conducted or authorized the interceptions if they did not act in good faith reliance on the statute.
