HB2045

Drive by shooting; immediate area

Introduced·1/12/26

Arizona HB2045 amends drive by shooting laws, including forfeiture of the vehicle, mandatory license revocation, and felony classification.

Arizona HB2045 amends section 13-1209 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to redefine drive by shooting. It specifies that intentionally discharging a weapon from a motor vehicle at a person, another vehicle, or an occupied structure constitutes a drive by shooting. The bill mandates the seizure and forfeiture of the vehicle used in the crime. It also requires the judge to order the surrender of the driver's license of the convicted person, which will then be invalidated or destroyed, and the driving privilege revoked for one to five years. Drive by shooting is classified as a class 2 felony.
