AZ SB1475

Repeals Arizona's death penalty, eliminating capital punishment as a sentencing option for all crimes, including first degree murder.

Changes sentences for first degree murder convictions from "death or life imprisonment" to "life or natural life imprisonment," with natural life sentences carrying no eligibility for commutation, parole, work furlough, or release.

Repeals eight sections of Arizona Revised Statutes (13-752 through 13-759) that established procedures for capital sentencing and death penalty proceedings.

Removes references to death penalty throughout Arizona criminal code, including appeal procedures, bail provisions, jury requirements, and correctional facility provisions.

Updates sentencing provisions to focus exclusively on life imprisonment options, including distinctions between "life" sentences (with parole eligibility after 25-35 years depending on victim age) and "natural life" sentences (no release).
