If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding the duties of constables in Arizona. Under the existing law, a constable may execute, serve, and return processes and notices within any precinct in another county only if that precinct adjoins the precinct where the constable was elected or appointed. The proposed changes would allow constables to perform these duties in another county's precinct if they have completed the mandatory training or if they are accompanying a newly elected constable who has not yet completed the required training.

The bill introduces new language that specifies these conditions for constables operating outside their home precincts, thereby expanding their ability to serve in adjacent areas under certain circumstances. Additionally, the bill includes conforming changes to ensure consistency within the statutes and will take effect on the general effective date.
