The proposed bill SB1666 amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 19-121 to allow proponents of local initiative petitions (for city, town, or county matters) to submit a single supplemental filing of additional signatures if they file their initial petition within 30 days of the filing deadline. This change enables proponents to gather and submit more signatures after the initial filing, which is not permitted under current law.

Under current law, once a petition is filed with the Secretary of State, no additional sheets can be accepted. The new bill introduces a provision that allows for this supplemental filing, thereby providing more flexibility for petitioners to meet the required number of signatures. Additionally, the bill clarifies the responsibilities of the petition proponents regarding the organization of signature sheets and the filing process.
