Bill > SB1650

This bill amends Arizona law to create an exception to absolute judicial immunity, meaning that a public entity, which refers to the state or its political subdivisions like cities and counties, will now be liable for the actions of its employees if a judicial officer knowingly or should have knowingly violated the civil rights of a litigant or someone affected by a case. Previously, public entities were generally not liable for acts and omissions of their employees that involved the exercise of a judicial or legislative function, or the determination of fundamental governmental policy, which involved discretion in areas like resource allocation and regulation.
