HB 2857 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

technical correction; national guard

HB 2857 is a technical correction to Arizona Revised Statutes § 26-177. It clarifies that the attorney general must provide legal opinions upon request from either the adjutant general or the state judge advocate of the Arizona National Guard regarding military affairs. The bill does not change any substantive policy or create new obligations; it only fixes a minor wording error in the existing statute. This affects how the National Guard accesses legal advice on state military matters.
