The proposed bill seeks to amend section 9-901 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the definition of "peace officers." Under current law, the term "peace officers" include include includes a specific group of law enforcement personnel, namely regularly salaried deputy sheriffs, policemen, and police officers of duly organized police departments. If enacted, the bill would clarify the language surrounding the definition of peace officers by changing the verb form from "include" to "includes," thereby ensuring grammatical consistency in the statute. The core definition of who qualifies as a peace officer remains unchanged, as the list of personnel specified in the current law is retained without any additions or removals.
