AZ HB2332

Requires electronic recording in its entirety of all oral, written, or sign language statements made by an accused during custodial interrogations in homicide investigations at law enforcement agencies or places of detention.

Exempts statements that are spontaneous, made in open court or before grand juries, made during routine processing, conducted out-of-state, made by federal officers in federal detention, or made when interrogators were unaware a death occurred.

Requires the state to preserve electronic recordings until the defendant's conviction is final and all direct and habeas corpus appeals are exhausted or prosecution is barred by law.

Defines "custodial interrogation" as an interrogation where a reasonable person would consider themselves in custody and questions are likely to elicit incriminating responses.

Establishes that electronic recordings are confidential and allows statements that cannot be recorded to be used only for impeachment purposes, not as substantive evidence.
