This bill proposes updates to section 13-1209 of the Arizona Revised Statutes concerning drive-by shootings. It replaces the existing language regarding the seizure of motor vehicles used in violations with a more specific definition, stating that a motor vehicle from which a person commits a drive-by shooting is subject to seizure for forfeiture. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definition of "discharging a weapon from a motor vehicle" to include discharging a weapon from the immediate area of a vehicle used to transport the person to the scene.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the definitions section by removing the existing definitions and inserting new language. It retains the definition of "motor vehicle" as per section 28-101 and "occupied structure" as per section 13-3101, while adding a new definition for "discharging a weapon from a motor vehicle." This aims to enhance the clarity and applicability of the law regarding drive-by shootings.
