Bill > SB1142

This bill amends various sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to riot, planning, participation, and racketeering. The key provisions include: 1. Expanding the definition of "racketeering" to include riot, in addition to terrorism, animal/ecological terrorism, and other criminal activities. 2. Modifying the definition of "riot" to include situations where the reckless use of force or violence, or the threat of such, either disturbs the public peace or results in damage to another person's property. 3. Removing the requirement for an overt act in certain conspiracy cases, such as those involving felonies against a person or certain offenses under existing law. 4. Updating definitions related to computer crimes, financial instruments, and other terms relevant to the broader scope of racketeering and organized criminal activities. The overall intent of the bill appears to be strengthening the state's legal framework for addressing riot-related and other racketeering offenses, with an expanded list of activities considered as part of "racketeering" and a modified definition of riot itself.
