Bill > HCR2014

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution regarding the composition and election of the House of Representatives and the establishment of an independent redistricting commission. Specifically, the resolution mandates that beginning in 2027, the House of Representatives will have two members elected from each of the thirty legislative districts, with seats designated as "A" and "B" based on the alphabetical order of the members' surnames and first names. The resolution also establishes detailed procedures for creating an independent redistricting commission, including requirements for member selection, political balance, qualifications, and the process of drawing congressional and legislative districts. The commission must follow specific guidelines when creating districts, such as ensuring equal population, geographical compactness, respecting communities of interest, and considering visible geographic features. The resolution provides comprehensive rules for the commission's composition, appointment process, operation, and legal standing, with provisions for filling vacancies, conducting public meetings, and protecting the independence of the redistricting process. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Arizona voters at the next general election for approval.
