HCR2050 is a resolution proposing an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would prohibit the state, its political subdivisions, or public bodies from restricting the manufacture, use, or sale of a device based on the energy sources used to power the device. This prohibition would not apply to the selection of generation sources necessary to ensure reliable and affordable service provision. The resolution defines "used to power the device or consumed by the device" as a significant function of the device that uses or consumes the energy source to accomplish its function.

The resolution requires the Secretary of State to submit the proposition to voters at the next general election. If approved by the voters and proclaimed by the Governor, the amendment would become effective. The resolution has been assigned to the NREW committee and has passed the House with a vote of 31-29-0. There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation. The fact sheet was prepared by Senate Research on March 19, 2024.
