Bill > HB2512

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding initiative and referendum processes for cities, towns, and counties, which are methods for citizens to propose or reject laws. Key changes include clarifying that local election officials, such as city or town clerks or county officers in charge of elections, cannot reject proposed initiatives or referendums based on their constitutionality, and they also cannot reject them on the grounds of the proposed measure's constitutionality. The bill also specifies that any legal challenge to the validity of an initiative or referendum, particularly those based on the actions of local election officials or the county recorder, must be filed within five calendar days of the disputed action, and that courts must expedite these cases to ensure timely election preparations, including the printing of ballots and related materials.
