The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the appeals process for traffic violations. Under the existing law, a party may appeal a court's judgment to the superior court, following the rules set by the supreme court. The new language would require that if an appeal is granted, the court must report the stay of enforcement of the judgment to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
Additionally, the bill stipulates that upon receiving this report, ADOT is prohibited from taking any administrative action related to the court's judgment until either the stay is lifted or the judgment is confirmed by an appellate court. This change aims to provide clearer guidelines on the handling of appeals and the enforcement of traffic violation judgments during the appeal process.
