trial by jury; regulatory proceedings
HB 2708 guarantees a right to jury trial in specific government regulatory actions in Arizona. It applies to cases involving disputes over $20 or significant personal freedoms, government-initiated proceedings, or cases not filed in Arizona’s state courts (though appeals to those courts don’t exclude them). The bill defines "regulatory proceeding" to clarify when this right applies, ensuring people facing such government actions can request a jury trial. It explicitly states this right does not affect existing jury trial protections in other legal matters.
