criminal damage; fine; business victims

This bill amends Arizona's criminal damage laws to clarify how damages are calculated and establishes a mandatory minimum fine for all convictions. It specifically allows courts to include labor, material, and equipment costs when determining the value of property damage, particularly for graffiti on buildings. Additionally, the legislation creates a Victims of Criminal Damage Fund financed by these fines to provide financial assistance to retail businesses that cannot recover their losses through restitution. The bill applies to individuals who recklessly or intentionally damage property, with penalties ranging from misdemeanors to felonies depending on the amount of damage and the type of victim.
