Bill > HB2306

This bill makes a technical correction to Arizona's law regarding discharging firearms at structures. Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "residential structure" in section 13-1211 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by removing the word "both" and then reinserting "or both" after the phrase "human residence or lodging". The existing law already classifies discharging a firearm at a residential structure as a class 2 felony and discharging a firearm at a nonresidential structure as a class 3 felony. The bill's changes appear to be a minor grammatical adjustment to clarify that a residential structure can be adapted for human residence, human lodging, or both, without changing the substantive legal requirements or penalties. This technical correction ensures the language of the statute is precise and unambiguous while maintaining the original intent of the law regarding the discharge of firearms near structures.
