AZ HB2066

Allows a person arrested without a warrant to be taken before a magistrate either in the county where the arrest occurs or in the county where the offense was committed.

Permits private persons making arrests to deliver the arrested person to a peace officer, who then must take them before a magistrate in either the county of arrest or the county where the offense occurred.

Requires that when an arrest occurs in a different county from where the alleged offense was committed, the arrested person must be brought before a magistrate in either county without unnecessary delay.

Clarifies that when a warrant includes a bond amount and the person is bailable as of right, they may be admitted to bail by a magistrate in either the county where the arrest occurs or the county where the offense was committed, with orders to appear in the court that issued the warrant.
