The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, specifically targeting Article IV, Part 2, Section 3, which governs the sessions of the state legislature. The amendment stipulates that legislative sessions will be held annually at the state capitol, commencing on the second Monday of January and concluding no later than April 30 of each year. Additionally, it allows the governor to call special sessions as deemed necessary, specifying the subjects to be addressed during these sessions. During a special session, only laws related to the specified subjects can be enacted.
If approved by voters, this amendment will be submitted to the electorate during the next general election, as outlined in Article XXI of the Arizona Constitution. The resolution emphasizes the importance of defining the legislative calendar and the scope of special sessions to ensure clarity and efficiency in the legislative process.
