HCR 2053 is a resolution proposing an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that seeks to exclude traffic violations from the legislative immunity currently granted to members of the legislature. Under the existing provisions, legislators are privileged from arrest in all cases except for treason, felony, and breach of the peace while attending legislative sessions. The proposed amendment would specifically add traffic violations to the list of exceptions, thereby allowing for the arrest of legislators for such offenses.

If approved by voters, the amendment would modify Article IV, Part 2, Section 6 of the Arizona Constitution. Additionally, the resolution mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposition to voters during the next general election. The intent behind this amendment is to enhance accountability among legislators regarding traffic laws, ensuring that they are not above the law in this regard.
