Arizona HB2922 exempts homeowners from obstruction charges when they refuse to open their doors to peace officers.

Arizona HB2922 amends Section 13-2409 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to exempt homeowners from obstruction charges when they refuse to open their doors to peace officers. Previously, obstructing criminal investigations or prosecutions by refusing to open a door could result in a class 5 felony. This bill ensures that homeowners are not penalized for this action, while maintaining penalties for other forms of obstruction.
