citizen suits; environment.
SB 1325 allows individuals or groups directly harmed by environmental violations (like water or air pollution) to sue polluters or government agencies in court. It requires a 60-120 day notice period to officials before filing a lawsuit and prevents duplicate lawsuits when government is already enforcing the law. Courts can award attorney fees to winning parties and direct civil penalties into specific environmental funds (water quality fund for water violations, air quality fund for air violations). This affects residents, businesses, or organizations harmed by pollution under Arizona's environmental laws.
