Bill > SB1502

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding unlawful flight from law enforcement, specifically section 28-622.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. It clarifies that a driver who willfully flees or attempts to elude a pursuing official law enforcement vehicle is guilty of a class 5 felony, regardless of whether the law enforcement vehicle is marked or unmarked, as long as the driver knew or should have known it was a law enforcement vehicle. The bill then introduces new felony classifications for unlawful flight: a driver is guilty of a class 4 felony if their flight recklessly endangers another person's life, and a driver is guilty of a more severe class 2 felony if their flight results in serious physical injury to another person, if they were transporting a minor under fifteen years of age, or if they are also found guilty of certain drunk or impaired driving offenses (violations of sections 28-1381 or 28-1382).
