The proposed bill would amend section 13-3821 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the definitions related to the registration of sex offenders. It introduces a new definition for "Convicted," clarifying that it includes individuals found guilty at trial or through a plea agreement, but excludes those with convictions that have been overturned or nullified by legal processes. Additionally, the bill renumbers existing definitions, such as "Legal custody," "Required online identifier," "Residence," "School," and "Transient," while maintaining their current meanings.

Furthermore, the bill removes the previous numbering of definitions, streamlining the structure of the statute. The definitions for "Required online identifier," "Residence," "School," and "Transient" are retained but renumbered, ensuring clarity and consistency in the legal language. Overall, the bill aims to modernize and clarify the language surrounding sex offender registration without altering the fundamental legal concepts currently in place.
