This bill proposes amendments to Section 13-1204 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically relating to the definition of employees engaged in work duties for public utilities, telecommunications providers, and video service providers. The current law remains unchanged, but the bill adds new language to clarify that employees of these entities are included in the definition of individuals protected under the assault statutes.

Additionally, the bill removes specific language regarding eligibility for suspension of sentence, commutation, or release from confinement for individuals convicted of aggravated assault on a peace officer. The current law states that such individuals are not eligible for these options until certain conditions are met, but this language will be deleted, streamlining the legal text while maintaining the core provisions regarding sentencing enhancements for aggravated assault.
