SB1261 is a bill that seeks to remove the authorization for school districts in Arizona to conduct mail ballot elections. Currently, Arizona law allows certain political subdivisions, including school districts, to hold mail ballot elections for various purposes such as deciding on school building locations, bond issues, and budget overrides. The bill proposes to exclude school districts from the list of entities that may conduct such elections, while cities and towns remain unaffected by this change. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes and is set to become effective on the general effective date. There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund as a result of this legislation.
