This bill proposes updates to section 26-177 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the role of the attorney general in providing legal opinions related to military affairs. Under current law, the attorney general is required to give opinions upon request from the adjutant general or the state judge advocate of the national guard. The bill modifies this language by replacing "shall" with "on" in the context of the attorney general's obligation, thereby clarifying the phrasing of the requirement.
Additionally, the bill removes the phrase "upon" and "the" from the existing statute, while inserting "shall" and "this" to enhance clarity. The overall effect of these changes is to streamline the language and ensure that the attorney general's responsibilities regarding military legal questions are clearly articulated.
