Bill > SB1642

This bill makes technical corrections to Arizona law regarding the number of judges in superior courts, specifically amending section 12-121 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The changes clarify that additional judges for superior courts can be authorized based on a petition from the county's board of supervisors to the governor, and that the governor's approval is required. The bill also refines the process for determining when a county qualifies for an additional judge by specifying that the board of supervisors' determination can be based on various population indicators, including estimates from the United States Census Bureau, and removes outdated phrasing like "his approval" to be more gender-neutral.
