Bill > HCR2051

This resolution, concerning ballot measures, circulators, revenue, and disclosure in Arizona, amends existing statutes to implement new requirements for those involved in gathering signatures for initiative and referendum petitions. Key provisions include mandating that paid circulators verbally disclose their first name, state of residence, and that they are paid when approaching potential signers, and also require them to wear a visible badge with this information. Furthermore, paid circulators who are not Arizona residents must register with the Secretary of State, and all paid circulators must register regardless of residency. The resolution also clarifies that any municipal or county initiative or referendum measure proposing a mandatory expenditure, establishing a fund, or allocating funding must include a disclosure of the expenditure, fund, or allocation and the source of increased revenues needed to cover its costs within the measure's description. These changes aim to increase transparency and accountability in the petition process.
