The resolution SCR1031 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution regarding the office of the State Mine Inspector. It seeks to repeal conflicting sections established by Proposition 107 in 1992, which mandated that the State Mine Inspector serve two-year terms for a maximum of four consecutive terms. Instead, the amendment would set the term limit for the State Mine Inspector at two consecutive four-year terms, with the new limit applying to terms beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Additionally, it stipulates that a State Mine Inspector who has served the maximum number of terms must wait at least one full term before being eligible to serve again.

The resolution requires voter approval and, if passed, will be submitted to the electorate at the next general election. It is designed to clarify the term limits for the State Mine Inspector and ensure consistency in the constitutional provisions governing this office. There is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
