HCR 2006 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

technical correction; illegal aliens

HCR 2006 proposes a constitutional amendment to Arizona that would prevent courts from awarding punitive damages in civil lawsuits against individuals present in Arizona in violation of federal immigration laws regarding improper entry. This change would directly affect civil cases where defendants are in Arizona without legal immigration status under federal law, such as lawsuits seeking punitive damages for injuries or damages. If approved by voters, the amendment would become part of Arizona's Constitution, altering how courts handle such cases while leaving compensatory damages unaffected. The measure focuses on restricting punitive damages specifically for immigration-related violations, not on immigration enforcement or other legal remedies.
