The resolution H.C.R. 2025 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would require proposed amendments to be approved by a 60 percent majority of voters, rather than a simple majority. This requirement would apply to all constitutional amendments except for those related to the fundamental right to abortion, which would remain subject to the current majority vote standard. The resolution aims to enhance the threshold for constitutional changes, reflecting a desire for broader consensus on significant amendments.
If approved by voters, the amendment would also mandate that the Secretary of State submit the proposition to the electorate during the next general election. The resolution does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund. Overall, this measure seeks to modify the legislative process regarding constitutional amendments, emphasizing the importance of a higher level of voter support for such changes while maintaining existing protections for abortion rights.
