AZ HB2048

Allows private process servers to serve orders of protection, except for orders that grant exclusive possession of the parties' residence to one party, which must still be served by law enforcement or constables.

Requires a party who was granted exclusive use of a residence under a protection order to file written notice with the court within five days of moving out of that residence.

Mandates the court to notify the defendant when the plaintiff has vacated the residence and inform them of their right to request a hearing.

Clarifies terminology by changing "house" to "residence" throughout the statute for consistency.
