This bill proposes to amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 8-310, which specifically addresses the unlawful purchase or possession of brass knuckles by juveniles. Under the new law, it would be illegal for a juvenile to intentionally or knowingly acquire or hold brass knuckles, and such a violation would be classified as a class 3 misdemeanor.

The bill also defines "brass knuckles" as a device made of metal, plastic, or another hard material designed to fit over the knuckles of the human hand to enhance the power of a punch. This addition aims to clarify the legal standing regarding brass knuckles and establish penalties for juvenile offenders, thereby updating current statutes to address this specific issue.
