This bill proposes to amend section 1-302 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically relating to the instructions given to a jury during deliberation. The current law allows for the court to give instructions to a jury "upon its request," which would be updated to specify that these instructions can be given "on the jury's request."

The bill removes the phrase "upon" and replaces it with "on," streamlining the language for clarity. Overall, the changes aim to enhance the understanding of the jury's ability to request instructions regarding their verdict.
