This bill proposes updates to section 13-2917 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing public nuisances related to the sale or dissemination of obscene items. The current law defines it as a public nuisance for any person to sell or disseminate obscene items within a specified distance from certain locations. The bill modifies this by changing the phrasing from "which" to "that" for clarity and removes the specific distance requirement, thereby simplifying the language.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the section does not apply to crime victims who contact law enforcement for assistance. It also renumbers the existing subsections accordingly, with the previous subsection D being deleted and replaced with a new subsection E that maintains the existing penalties for knowingly maintaining a public nuisance. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and modernize the language while providing protections for crime victims.
