Fifty-seventh Legislature - Second Regular Session (2026)

Bill Summary

Legislative session; adjournment

AI Summary

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would establish a fixed adjournment date for the state legislature's regular annual sessions, requiring them to conclude no later than April 30th each year, while retaining the governor's authority to call special sessions for specific purposes. The amendment, if approved by voters, would change the wording regarding the start of sessions and the governor's discretion in calling special sessions, ensuring that any laws passed during a special session are strictly limited to the subjects outlined in the governor's call. The Secretary of State is directed to present this proposed constitutional amendment to the voters for their approval at the next general election.
