This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding weapons in Arizona. It introduces a new offense under paragraph 17 for "instigating another person to commit an offense" that is already listed in the statute, thereby expanding the scope of misconduct involving weapons. Additionally, it clarifies the definition of "instigating" as encouraging or directing another person to commit a crime or to engage in an act that is likely to result in a crime. The bill also modifies existing language by removing certain terms and replacing them with updated definitions, such as changing "public establishment" and "public event" definitions to streamline the language. Furthermore, it adds paragraph 17 to the classification of misdemeanors, indicating that misconduct involving weapons under this new paragraph would be classified as a class 3 misdemeanor. Overall, these changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding weapons offenses and clarify definitions within the statute.
