Section 1. Purpose

1. Section 17‑340, Arizona Revised Statutes, was amended by Laws 2011, chapter 113, section 2 and Laws 2011, chapter 282, section 2. The chapter 282 version could not be blended because it failed to amend the chapter 113 version, which was an emergency enactment, and therefore did not comply with article IV, part 2, section 14, Constitution of Arizona. To accomplish the intent of these enactments, this act amends section 17‑340, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2011, chapter 113, section 2 to incorporate the amendments made by Laws 2011, chapter 282, section 2 and the chapter 282 version is repealed.

2. Section 38‑842, Arizona Revised Statutes, was amended by Laws 2011, chapter 27, section 25, Laws 2011, chapter 347, section 2 and Laws 2011, chapter 357, section 24. However, these versions did not reflect the previous valid version of the section. In order to comply with article IV, part 2, section 14, Constitution of Arizona, this act amends section 38‑842, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2010, chapter 118, section 3 and chapter 200, section 30, to incorporate the amendments made by Laws 2011, chapter 27, section 25, chapter 347, section 2 and chapter 357, section 24 and the chapter 27, 347 and 357 blend version is repealed.

3. Section 41‑1758, Arizona Revised Statutes, was amended by Laws 2011, chapter 177, section 2, Laws 2011, chapter 190, section 32 and Laws 2011, chapter 203, section 3. However, the Laws 2011, chapter 190 version did not reflect the previous valid version of the section. In order to comply with article IV, part 2, section 14, Constitution of Arizona, this act amends section 41‑1758, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2011, chapter 177, section 2 and chapter 203, section 3 to incorporate the amendments made by Laws 2011, chapter 190, section 32 and the chapter 190 version is repealed.

4. Section 41‑1758.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, was amended by Laws 2011, chapter 113, section 4, Laws 2011, chapter 177, section 3, Laws 2011, chapter 190, section 33 and Laws 2011, chapter 203, section 4. However, the Laws 2011, chapter 190 version did not reflect the previous valid version of the section. In order to comply with article IV, part 2, section 14, Constitution of Arizona, this act amends section 41‑1758.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2011, chapter 113, section 4, chapter 177, section 3 and chapter 203, section 4 to incorporate the amendments made by Laws 2011, chapter 190, section 33 and the chapter 190 version is repealed.

5. Laws 2011, chapter 126, section 2 and Laws 2011, chapter 307, section 6 amended Laws 2010, chapter 254, section 2 in an identical manner. In order to eliminate the double amendment activity, this act repeals Laws 2010, chapter 254, section 2, as amended by Laws 2011, chapter 307, section 6.

6. Laws 2011, chapter 333, section 6 provided for the delayed repeal of section 41‑1008.01, Arizona Revised Statutes. However, the repeal of section 41‑1008.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, was not included in the title of the act in violation of article IV, part 2, section 13, Constitution of Arizona. In order to correct a potentially defective enactment, this act provides for the delayed repeal of section 41‑1008.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, and repeals Laws 2011, chapter 333, section 6.

Sec. 2. Section 17‑340, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended by Laws 2011, chapter 113, section 2, is amended to read:
