44-1530. Assurance of discontinuance of
unlawful practice

In the enforcement of the provisions of this article, the attorney general may
accept an assurance of discontinuance of any act or practice deemed in violation of the
provisions of this article from any person engaging in, or who has engaged in, such act
or practice. Such assurance may include a stipulation for the payment by such person of
reasonable expenses incurred by the attorney general or as restitution to aggrieved
persons, or both. Any such assurance shall be in writing and shall be filed with and
subject to the approval of the superior court of the county in which the alleged violator
resides or has its principal place of business or in Maricopa county. A violation of
such assurance within six years of the filing thereof shall constitute prima facie proof
of a violation of the provisions of this article. Such assurance of discontinuance shall
not be considered an admission of a violation for any purpose.
