This bill changes where people can file lawsuits to challenge final decisions made by state agencies in Arizona. It allows individuals to choose from several locations for filing these appeals, including their own county, their business location, the agency's headquarters, or Maricopa County. The law also prevents agencies from forcing people to travel to the agency's location just to submit documents needed for the appeal process. These changes apply to any appeal of a final administrative decision unless a specific law already sets a different rule.
