SB 1214 Summary

• Resolves conflicting legislative amendments to seven Arizona Revised Statutes sections by consolidating multiple 2021 laws that attempted to amend the same statutory text, which violated the Arizona Constitution's requirement that emergency enactments must be amended by subsequent laws.

• Amends sections 8-202, 13-3415, and 21-102 to incorporate amendments from Laws 2021, chapter 435, 372, and 206 respectively into the versions established by earlier emergency enactments, then repeals the conflicting versions.

• Amends sections 36-557 and 36-591 to consolidate amendments from Laws 2021, chapter 60 (which had a delayed effective date) into the chapter 409 versions, then repeals the chapter 60 versions.

• Amends sections 38-847 and 38-893 to incorporate amendments from Laws 2021, chapter 251 (effective September 29, 2021) into the chapter 34 versions (effective January 1, 2022), correcting a defective enactment timing issue, then repeals the chapter 251 versions.

• Establishes retroactive effective dates: September 28, 2021 for sections 2-7; December 31, 2021 for sections 12-15; and June 30, 2022 for sections 8-11.
