Pursuant to Rule 28, Ariz. R. Sup. Ct., the New Civil Liberties Alliance (“NCLA”) petitions this Court to amend Arizona Rule of Procedure for Judicial Review of Administrative Decisions 3 (“JRAD Rule 3”). The proposed amendments to JRAD Rule 3 will remedy the inadvertent adoption of the preliminary-injunction standard as the “good cause” standard under A.R.S. § 12-911 for stays of administrative decisions (“2018 JRAD Rule 3 Amendment”). The proposed rule would replace the preliminary-injunction standard with the court-recognized “colorable claim” standard for stays adopted under A.R.S. § 12-911.
