Bill > HCR2004

This resolution proposes a technical amendment to Article VI, Section 14 of the Arizona Constitution concerning superior court jurisdiction. The amendment clarifies and updates the types of cases that fall under the original jurisdiction of superior courts, which include cases not exclusively assigned to other courts, equity and legal cases involving real property or tax challenges, cases with property disputes exceeding $1,000, felony and certain misdemeanor criminal cases, forcible entry and detainer actions, insolvency proceedings, nuisance prevention, probate matters, marriage annulment and dissolution, naturalization, and other special cases as defined by law. Specifically, the resolution makes a small linguistic change by replacing the phrase "Divorce and for" with "Annulment and dissolution" in the section about marriage-related legal proceedings. If approved by voters at the next general election, this constitutional amendment will take effect upon the Governor's proclamation, representing a technical refinement of the state's judicial jurisdictional framework.
