AZ HB2251

Establishes the stand your ground study committee consisting of 15 members including legislators, law enforcement, county attorneys, judges, criminal defense attorneys, and university faculty appointed by legislative and executive leaders.

Directs the committee to research and report on Arizona's "stand your ground" law (not having a duty to retreat before using deadly force), including its use as a legal defense, impact on public safety, effectiveness in preventing crime, and effects on law enforcement.

Authorizes the committee to request information from state and county agencies, hold hearings, conduct fact-finding tours, and take testimony from criminal justice system participants; state agencies must provide services and support at no cost to the committee.

Requires the committee to submit findings and recommendations to the governor, legislative leaders, and secretary of state by December 31, 2014.

Committee automatically repeals on September 30, 2015; members receive no compensation but are eligible for expense reimbursement.
