Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 11-588, arizona revised statutes; relating to the state aid to indigent defense fund.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law to expand the purpose of the State Aid to Indigent Defense Fund, which provides financial assistance to counties for legal representation for those who cannot afford it. Specifically, it adds "eviction cases" to the types of cases for which counties can receive funding, meaning that the money from this fund can now be used to help cover the costs of providing legal defense not only for criminal cases but also for eviction cases, supplementing the funding counties already provide for these services.
