HB 2618 increases the penalty for unlawful solicitation of a tort victim at the scene of any accident from a class 1 misdemeanor (6 months/$2,500) to a class 6 felony (1 yr/$150,000).

HB 2168 establishes that knowingly employing, using or acting as a runner, capper or steerer to procure clients with the intent to perform or obtain services under a contract of insurance or to assert a claim against an insured is a violation of A.R.S. 20-463. A person who violates this section is guilty of a class 6 felony.
