Bill > HCR2036

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would limit the number of legislative measures each member can introduce during a regular legislative session to ten, with a specific restriction that during the second regular session, members can only introduce bills to repeal existing statutes. The proposed amendment includes exceptions for emergency measures, general appropriation bills, and budget reconciliation bills. Additionally, the resolution mandates that any bill cosponsored by at least one member from each of the two largest political parties must receive a committee or subcommittee hearing in its chamber of origin. The resolution reflects a stated legislative finding that there are "already enough laws" and aims to control the volume of new legislation by restricting bill introductions. If approved by voters and proclaimed by the Governor, these changes would modify the procedural rules for bill introduction and committee hearings in the Arizona legislature, potentially reducing the number of new laws and ensuring bipartisan bills receive a hearing.
