Bill > HB2276

This bill makes technical corrections to Arizona law regarding obstructing governmental operations, which is the act of knowingly hindering or impairing a public servant or peace officer who is acting under their official authority. Specifically, it clarifies that the obstruction must be by using or threatening to use violence or physical force, and it corrects a grammatical error by changing "such person" to "the person" and "his" to "the public servant's" or "the peace officer's" to ensure proper pronoun usage. The bill also corrects a spelling error, changing "hinderance" to "hindrance," and it maintains the existing provision that this law does not apply to the obstruction of making an arrest, with the offense remaining a class 1 misdemeanor.
