This bill proposes to amend section 12-405 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically regarding the process for changing the venue of a trial. Under current law, the superior court may transfer an action for trial to another county only upon the written consent of the parties or their attorneys, which must be filed in the action.

The proposed changes would maintain the requirement for written consent but clarify that the superior court in any county may issue an order to transfer the action for trial to the superior court in another county. This update aims to streamline the process and ensure that the authority to transfer cases is clearly defined within the statute.
