Bill > HB2526

This bill makes technical corrections to Arizona Revised Statutes section 1-302, which governs the closure of public offices and courts on legal holidays. The bill makes minor grammatical changes, specifically replacing the word "upon" with "on" and changing "its" to "the jury's" when referring to jury instructions and deliberations. The bill preserves the existing provisions that allow certain judicial business to continue on legal holidays, including giving instructions to a jury deliberating on its verdict, receiving a verdict or discharging a jury, and exercising magistrate powers in criminal actions. Additionally, the law continues to permit the issuance and service of injunctions, attachments, claims and delivery processes, and writs of prohibition on any day, regardless of holiday status. These changes appear to be primarily stylistic and do not substantively alter the meaning or application of the existing law.
