HR 2004 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

disapproval; attorney general; public statements

This resolution (HR 2004) expresses the Arizona House of Representatives' formal disapproval of the Attorney General's public statements regarding when deadly force may be used against law enforcement officers. The resolution states these statements were inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading under Arizona law, potentially endangering public safety and eroding trust in law enforcement. It demands the Attorney General retract her comments, issue clarifying guidance that accurately reflects Arizona law, publicly support law enforcement officers, and exercise greater care in future communications. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change legal standards but formally condemns the Attorney General's remarks and calls for corrective action.
