Complete·4/13/26

HB2126 allows for a change of venue in civil actions if a party is an employee of the judicial branch or the clerk of the superior court.

HB2126 amends Arizona law to allow a change of venue in civil actions pending in the superior court if a party is an employee of the judicial branch or the clerk of the superior court. Either party can request a change of venue as a matter of right. The court must transfer the action to the most convenient adjoining county, or to an agreed-upon county if the parties choose one. This change aims to address potential conflicts of interest or biases in court proceedings.
