This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 13-1821, specifically addressing the theft of motor fuel. The new language outlines various actions that constitute theft of motor fuel, including breaching or tampering with retail fuel dispensers, possessing devices intended to manipulate these dispensers, and using electronic communication to alter their operation.
The bill establishes penalties for these violations, categorizing them as class 6 felonies for certain breaches, escalating to class 5 felonies if the violation results in the unlawful acquisition of motor fuel. Additionally, it clarifies that "motor fuel" is defined as per section 28-5601. Current statutes remain unchanged, with no deletions from existing law.
