Make Arizona Safer

The panel will discuss Arizona’s cutting-edge drug sentencing reform bill, HB 2303, as well as legislative reforms that have been effective in Louisiana, South Carolina, Iowa, and Oklahoma. They’ll also offer solutions such as “safety valve” exceptions that have been implemented in other states based on model legislation adopted by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
