AZ HB2864

Adds registered security guards under Arizona Title 32, Chapter 26 as a protected class under aggravated assault laws, effective until January 1, 2033.

Security guards are protected when engaged in execution of official duties or when assault results from their official duties, matching protections provided to other professionals like teachers, health care workers, and prosecutors.

Makes two separate amendments to A.R.S. Section 13-1204: one effective until December 31, 2032 (Section 1) and one effective beginning January 1, 2033 (Section 2), with the later version replacing "first responder" references with "peace officer" in some contexts.

Assault on a registered security guard performing official duties is classified as a class 6 felony under the aggravated assault statute.
