The proposed bill would amend section 13-2917 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by updating the definition of public nuisance related to the sale or dissemination of obscene items. Specifically, it would replace the phrase "which" with "that" in the current statute, clarifying the language. Additionally, the bill would remove the requirement that the obscene item must be within two thousand feet of certain specified locations, thereby broadening the scope of the public nuisance definition.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new provision stating that the section does not apply to crime victims who contact law enforcement for assistance, ensuring that victims are not penalized under this statute. The existing penalty for knowingly maintaining or committing a public nuisance remains unchanged, retaining the classification of such actions as a class 2 misdemeanor.
