technical correction; illegal aliens

This bill proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would ban courts in the state from awarding punitive damages to plaintiffs who sue illegal aliens. It directly affects individuals who are present in Arizona in violation of federal immigration laws and the plaintiffs who might bring lawsuits against them. The key mechanism is a constitutional change that limits the types of financial compensation available in specific civil cases involving undocumented immigrants. If approved by voters, this rule would prevent juries from ordering illegal aliens to pay extra punitive fines as part of a court judgment.
