Bill > HCR2009

This resolution proposes a new legal provision in Arizona that would grant all state citizens the right to challenge any action taken by a government official that is deemed unlawful. Specifically, the resolution adds section 12-824 to the Arizona Revised Statutes, which would establish legal standing for citizens to bring legal challenges against government officials who have allegedly acted outside the scope of their legal authority or in violation of law. The resolution also mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposed change to voters at the next general election, allowing the people of Arizona to directly decide whether to adopt this new legal right through a ballot measure. If approved, this would expand citizens' ability to hold government officials accountable by providing a formal legal mechanism to contest actions they believe are improper or illegal.
