The proposed bill seeks to amend section 13-116 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to double punishment for acts or omissions that are punishable under different sections of the law. The current statute allows for concurrent sentences when an act is punishable in multiple ways, and it stipulates that an acquittal or conviction under one section bars prosecution under another for the same act, in accordance with constitutional requirements.

The bill introduces minor grammatical changes, replacing "which" with "that" and "require" with "requires," but does not alter the substantive provisions of the law. Therefore, if enacted, the bill would maintain the existing legal framework regarding double punishment while updating the language for clarity.
