AZ HB2021

Creates new crime of "drug trafficking homicide" as a class 1 felony with sentence of 10-16-25 calendar years (minimum-presumptive-maximum), increased to 15-20-29 years for repeat offenders with prior drug trafficking homicide or dangerous offense convictions.

Defines drug trafficking homicide as transferring dangerous drugs or narcotic drugs in violation of sections 13-3407 or 13-3408 where the injection, inhalation, absorption or ingestion causes another person's death and the transfer was a contributing cause of death.

Establishes rebuttable presumption that transferred drug caused victim's death if state proves the drug was transferred within 24 hours before victim's death and victim died from same type of drug.

If victim is under fifteen years of age, drug trafficking homicide is punishable under section 13-705 (dangerous crimes against children) instead of standard sentencing provisions.

Adds drug trafficking homicide to list of dangerous crimes against children in first degree and to serious/violent or aggravated felony definitions for sentencing enhancement purposes.
