The proposed bill would amend Section 13-3101 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new provision that prohibits individuals convicted of Interfering with Judicial Proceedings, specifically for violating the terms of an order of protection, from possessing weapons. This new language would be inserted as a new subsection (e), while the existing subsections would be renumbered accordingly.
Additionally, the bill would remove the current provisions that define certain categories of individuals who are prohibited from possessing weapons, specifically those identified as undocumented or nonimmigrant aliens (currently subsection (f)), as well as those found incompetent or guilty except insane (currently subsections (g) and (h)). These deletions would streamline the statute by eliminating these categories from the list of prohibitions.
