AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law to grant victims the right to have their attorney fees and costs paid by a party who violates or worsens a violation of their rights, as outlined in the state's victims' bill of rights (Article II, Section 2.1 of the Arizona Constitution) or other Arizona laws. This provision applies even if the victim's attorney is providing services pro bono or through legal aid, and it aims to ensure victims can effectively enforce their rights or remedy violations. The bill also clarifies that existing immunity provisions for governmental entities are not altered by this change.
