Bill > HB2108

This bill amends Arizona law regarding unlawful flight from law enforcement vehicles, increasing the severity of penalties for drivers who flee and endanger others. Specifically, it clarifies that a driver who willfully flees or attempts to elude a marked or unmarked official law enforcement vehicle is guilty of a class 5 felony. The bill introduces new provisions that elevate the charge to a class 4 felony if the driver recklessly endangers another person's life during the flight, and to a class 2 felony if the driver causes serious physical injury to another person, transports a minor under fifteen years of age, or is found guilty of related offenses like driving under the influence (DUI) or extreme DUI. These changes aim to deter dangerous driving behavior during police pursuits and ensure stricter consequences for actions that put the public at risk.
