SB1072
Martin - standard income tax deduction; amounts (NOW: civil liability; presumptions; police tools)
Striker amendment grants qualified immunity to users and manufacturers of “police tools”, including weapons, when used against a person committing a felony.
AzCDL supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor
SB1145
Bee - self-defense; home protection
Another "Castle Doctrine" bill, but no “affirmative defense” in this one. Any person is presumed to be acting properly when defending a residence or an occupied vehicle against an intruder.
(A Senate Judiciary committee adopted amendment adds strong self-defense justification language that puts the burden of proof back on the state where it belongs.)
AzCDL strongly supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor

HB2074
Gray C - concealed weapons; training requirement; renewal
Eliminates the training requirement for Concealed Weapons (CCW) permit renewal. Currently there is a nominal 2 hour training requirement. Arizona is one of only 4 of the 37 “shall-issue” CCW states that require training for permit renewal. This requirement is a disincentive for renewal and results in lost revenue to the State. Renewal applicants can be kept abreast of changes in Arizona laws via a pamphlet issued with their new permit. This method is used successfully by a number of shall-issue states.
(A Senate Judiciary committee adopted amendment adds language that makes CCW permit reciprocity nearly universal.)
AzCDL strongly supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor
HB2076
Gray C - weapons; misconduct; storage; map pocket
Requires on-site, “readily accessible” storage and “immediate retrieval” of a weapon when public establishments or events forbid weapons. Current law has no on-site storage requirement and compliant gun owners have found they must travel to inconvenient and remote locations to retrieve their property.
AzCDL strongly supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor
HB2127
Weiers JP - nonresident big game permits; limits
Allows for a limit on nonresident Big Game permits to 10% or fewer of the total hunt permits.
AzCDL supports this bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor
HB2129
Weiers JP - game and fish; enforcement; penalties
Greater authority is given to Fish and Game enforcement. Juvenile game related crime "set asides" are eliminated. Game and Fish owned decoys are added to the definition of "wildlife." New forfeiture provisions are added for poaching.
(AppropriationsP adopted amendment removes forfeiture provisions, makes other changes.)
AzCDL supports the amended bill.
FINAL DISPOSITION: Signed by the Governor
