Arizona rangers; repeal
SB 1071 removes an exception that previously exempted the Arizona Rangers organization from standard security guard regulations in Arizona law. Specifically, it repeals Section 32-2606's provision allowing Arizona Rangers to operate under different rules when performing official duties for 501(c)(3) nonprofits. This bill directly affects the Arizona Rangers by eliminating their special status under the state's security guard licensing and training requirements. The bill does not create new policy but removes existing legal language, repealing two specific Arizona Revised Statutes chapters.
