Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona law regarding fleeing from law enforcement vehicles. It increases the penalties for unlawfully fleeing a pursuing police vehicle, particularly when the vehicle is marked or unmarked. The severity of the charge – ranging from a class 5 felony to a class 2 felony – depends on factors like whether the driver knew they were being pursued, whether they endangered lives, or if a minor was in the vehicle. It clarifies the conditions under which a reckless endangerment charge can be applied.
