venue; employee conflict; superior court

HB 2126 requires automatic venue changes in civil lawsuits where a party is a judicial branch or court clerk employee in the county where the case is filed. This applies to any such case, directly affecting the parties involved and the court handling the matter. The bill mandates that the court must transfer the case to the most convenient neighboring county unless the parties agree to a different county. It does not change substantive law but streamlines procedural fairness when potential conflicts arise due to employment relationships. The bill focuses solely on the court's procedural duty to move the case, not on policy outcomes.
