The resolution HCR2057 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would change the requirements for initiatives, constitutional amendments, and referendums to be placed on the ballot. Specifically, it mandates that a sufficient percentage of qualified electors from each county must approve these measures, rather than relying solely on a statewide percentage. For statewide initiatives, 10% of qualified electors from each county would be required; for constitutional amendments, 15% from each county; and for referendums, 5% from each county. This change aims to ensure that all regions of the state have a voice in the legislative process.

The resolution outlines the procedures for filing initiative and referendum petitions, the effective dates for measures, and the powers reserved to the people regarding legislative authority. It emphasizes that the governor's veto power would not extend to tax initiatives or referendums approved by a significant majority of voters. Additionally, the resolution includes provisions for the legislature's ability to amend or repeal initiatives and referendums, ensuring that such actions require a supermajority vote. If approved by voters, the amendment would take effect upon proclamation by the governor.
