forfeiture of office; technical correction
SB 1828 amends Arizona law to clarify that state legislators convicted of specific felonies (referenced in sections 41-1282 and 41-1283) forfeit their legislative seat and are permanently barred from holding any state office. The bill corrects the existing statute by adding "in this article" to specify that the forfeiture applies only to convictions under the listed sections, not all felonies. This change directly affects Arizona state legislators convicted of those particular offenses, removing ambiguity about which felonies trigger disqualification. The bill makes no new policy but ensures the existing law is applied as intended.
