If this bill were to become law, it would amend section 19-102 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to require initiative descriptions to include a separate listing of statutes that may conflict with or be impacted by the proposed measure, along with a brief summary of how these statutes might conflict or be affected. This addition aims to provide voters with clearer information regarding potential legal conflicts associated with initiatives.
Additionally, the bill would remove certain existing language from the statute, specifically the requirement that it is unlawful to sign a petition before it has a serial number, as well as the designations for paid circulators and volunteers. These deletions would streamline the language of the law while incorporating the new requirements for initiative descriptions.
