If this bill were to become law, it would amend Section 13-107 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding "failing to register as a sex offender" to the list of offenses for which there is no statute of limitations, allowing prosecution to commence at any time. This change would ensure that individuals who fail to register as sex offenders can be prosecuted indefinitely, similar to other serious offenses currently listed in the statute.
The bill also includes technical changes to the existing language of the statute. Specifically, it modifies the list of offenses by inserting "or 13-3824" after the existing offenses and removing the conjunction "or" that precedes it. Overall, these updates aim to strengthen the legal framework surrounding sex offender registration and enhance public safety.
