The resolution HCR2049 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that aims to protect citizens' rights regarding vehicle travel. Specifically, it seeks to constitutionally prohibit any tax or fee based on vehicle miles traveled, as well as any laws or regulations that monitor or limit individual vehicle travel without consent. However, it allows for exceptions, such as monitoring government-owned vehicles and travel reimbursements. The amendment would require voter approval and would be submitted to the electorate at the next general election.
Additionally, the resolution includes provisions that allow for judicial review of the constitutionality of proposed initiative measures or constitutional amendments. It enables challenges to be made at any time after a petition is filed, provided that the challenge occurs at least 100 days before the election. If a court finds a measure unconstitutional, it can prevent it from being placed on the ballot. This amendment aims to enhance access to the courts for adjudicating the validity of initiatives and does not limit any existing legal remedies.
