Bill > HB2326

This bill makes a technical correction to Arizona's consumer fraud law, specifically section 44-1527, which outlines the procedures for the attorney general when a person fails to comply with a demand or subpoena. The bill proposes minor language changes, including replacing the plural "sections" with the singular "section" and updating gendered language from "he" to "the attorney general" when referring to the attorney general's actions. The law allows the attorney general to file a petition with the superior court if a person does not fully comply with a demand or subpoena related to a consumer fraud investigation. In such cases, the court may take actions such as holding the person in contempt, issuing injunctive relief to restrain the sale or advertisement of merchandise under investigation, and granting other appropriate relief. The bill also maintains a provision that allows the court to examine evidence in camera (privately) if the attorney general determines that disclosing the evidence could harm the investigation.
