The proposed bill seeks to amend section 44-1527 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing consumer fraud. It introduces new language that clarifies the attorney general's authority in cases where a person fails to comply with a demand or subpoena. The bill replaces the term "sections" with "section" to streamline the reference to the relevant statutes and maintains the existing provisions regarding the attorney general's ability to file a petition with the superior court for compliance orders.
Additionally, the bill updates the language concerning the attorney general's discretion in disclosing evidence. It replaces the pronoun "he" with "the attorney general," ensuring gender-neutral language. The provision allowing the court to examine evidence in camera remains unchanged, preserving the attorney general's ability to protect the integrity of investigations when necessary.
