HB 2933 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

technical correction; double punishment.

HB 2933 is a technical correction to Arizona Revised Statutes §13-116, which governs double punishment for the same act. It fixes minor grammatical errors in the existing law (correcting "that" to "that" and removing a duplicated "requires") without changing any legal meaning or policy. The bill does not affect individuals, alter sentencing rules, or create new legal requirements. It is purely a drafting correction to ensure the statute's language is clear and accurate.
