Chamber Passed·2/27/26

Arizona SB1329 allows parents to sue court-appointed professionals for deviations from ethical standards.

Arizona SB1329 amends the state's legal code to permit parents to file a civil action against professionals appointed by the court in cases involving legal decision-making or parenting time. The lawsuit can proceed if the professional's actions deviate from the ethics and standards set by their licensing agency. Parents must initiate the action within four years of the cause of action arising. This bill introduces a new section, 25-419, to the Arizona Revised Statutes.
