Bill Summary

Legislature; district residency

AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, specifically Article IV, part 2, section 2, which outlines the qualifications for members of the state Legislature. The key change is to require that a candidate for the Legislature must have been a resident of the specific legislative **district** from which they are elected for at least one year prior to their election, replacing the previous requirement of being a resident of the **county** for that same period. This proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters at the next general election for their approval, and if passed, will become effective upon the Governor's proclamation.
