The proposed bill seeks to amend Section 12-822 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to legal actions against public entities or employees. The current law requires that service of summons in such actions, where the acts in question are alleged to have occurred within the scope of the public employee's employment, be made in accordance with the Arizona rules of civil procedure. The bill introduces language to clarify that service of summons should be made pursuant to "the" Arizona rules of civil procedure, inserting the definite article "the" before the phrase. This change does not alter the substantive requirement but rather clarifies the reference to the specific set of rules to be followed.
