HB 2276 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

technical correction; obstructing governmental operations

HB 2276 corrects a technical error in Arizona's law defining "obstructing governmental operations" (A.R.S. § 13-2402). The bill clarifies that knowingly interfering with a public servant performing their duties or a peace officer enforcing the law - through violence or threats - remains a class 1 misdemeanor. It specifically excludes obstruction that occurs during an arrest from this offense. This is a procedural update to the statute's wording, not a policy change.
