AZ SB1594

Amends section 13-1204 of Arizona Revised Statutes regarding aggravated assault offenses.

Expands the mental disability exception to assaulting health care workers to include "developmental disability" and "cognitive disability" in addition to existing mental disability protections.

The exception applies when a person committing assault on a health care worker lacks the ability to form the required culpable mental state due to these disabilities or serious mental illness.

Modifies sentencing provisions for aggravated assault on peace officers to clarify eligibility for release under section 41-1604.07 or sentence commutation in addition to existing restrictions.
