Bill Summary

AN ACT amending section 12-405, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to change of venue.

AI Summary

This bill makes a technical correction to Arizona Revised Statutes section 12-405, which governs change of venue (the process of transferring a legal case from one court to another) in superior courts. The bill modifies the language to clarify that a superior court in any county may transfer an action for trial to a superior court in another county, but only when there is a written consent from all parties or their attorneys, which must be filed in the action and documented by an order entered in the court minutes. The changes are primarily grammatical and do not substantially alter the existing legal procedure, focusing instead on making the statutory language more precise and consistent.
