If enacted, this bill 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 enhance transparency and inform voters about potential legal implications of the initiatives they are considering.
Additionally, the bill would remove certain existing language from the statute, specifically the prohibition against signing a petition before it has a serial number and the designations for paid circulators and volunteers. These deletions would streamline the language of the law while the new insertion would ensure that voters are better informed about the legal context of initiatives.
