misconduct involving weapons; instigation
HB 2513 amends Arizona's misconduct involving weapons statute (ARS § 13-3102) by adding a new provision (subsection A.17) that makes it a crime to instigate another person to commit certain weapon offenses. It directly affects individuals who encourage others to engage in prohibited weapon conduct, such as carrying concealed weapons during serious crimes or using weapons in gang-related activities. The key mechanism is criminalizing the act of provoking or urging someone else to violate existing weapon laws, expanding liability beyond the direct perpetrator. This is a substantive policy change to the existing statute, not a procedural measure.
