Bill > HB2044

This bill adds a new section to Arizona's securities law that provides individuals who are the subject of a Corporation Commission securities proceeding with a guaranteed right to a jury trial, regardless of any existing legal provisions that might previously have limited such a right. Specifically, the bill introduces section 44-1975 to Title 44, Chapter 12, Article 11 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which explicitly states that a person involved in a securities proceeding conducted by the Arizona Corporation Commission can request and receive a trial by jury. This provision appears to expand legal protections for individuals facing securities-related legal actions by ensuring they have the option of having their case heard and decided by a jury of their peers, rather than solely by administrative or judicial officials.
