This bill proposes to amend section 13-1105 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding homicide. The current law identifies various offenses that, if committed, could result in the death of a person. The proposed insertion adds the phrase "including an unborn child" to clarify that these offenses also apply to unborn children, thereby expanding the scope of the law to include them as victims in homicide cases.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing statute by inserting a reference to "subsection A, paragraph 2" in the context of offenses that apply to unborn children. This change ensures that the protections for unborn children are explicitly recognized in relation to multiple paragraphs of the statute, thereby reinforcing the legal framework surrounding the prosecution of homicide cases involving unborn victims.
