This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding felony aggravated harassment involving domestic violence to the list of offenses for which a victim may request a lifetime injunction against the convicted defendant. Currently, the law allows for such injunctions for various serious offenses, but does not specifically include aggravated harassment related to domestic violence. The new language would insert a provision that explicitly recognizes this type of harassment as a qualifying offense for lifetime injunctions.

The bill would update Section 13-719 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by including the new insertion that defines aggravated harassment as a felony offense under Section 13-2921.01, which involves domestic violence as defined in Section 13-3601. This change aims to enhance protections for victims of domestic violence by ensuring they have the option to seek a lifetime injunction against offenders convicted of aggravated harassment.
