    Based on the Report and Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Evidence Retention presented to and unanimously supported by the Arizona Judicial Council, would amend several rules sets to provide clear direction to court personnel responsible for practically applying the records retention and disposition schedules when managing the storage and disposition of evidence.

    FILED: July 16, 2025

    Would amend twelve rule-sets to include rules governing or related to records retention and disposition.
