AI Summary
This bill establishes a new crime called "theft of motor fuel" in Arizona, defining it as intentionally and without permission tampering with, accessing, or possessing devices designed to alter the operation of a retail fuel dispenser, or using electronic communication to fraudulently manipulate it. A violation involving breaching a fuel dispenser or possessing a fraudulent device is classified as a Class 6 felony, but becomes a Class 5 felony if motor fuel is actually obtained; tampering with or electronically manipulating a dispenser is a Class 5 felony. The bill also clarifies that "motor fuel" refers to the same substances defined in another section of Arizona law related to fuel sales.
