The resolution SCR1024 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would change the qualifications for members of the Legislature. Specifically, it requires that candidates must be residents of the district they wish to represent, rather than just the county, for at least one year prior to the election. Additionally, candidates must be members of the political party from which they are elected for at least one year before the election. This amendment is subject to voter approval and would take effect upon proclamation by the Governor.

The resolution outlines the current qualifications for legislative candidates, which include being a U.S. citizen, at least 25 years old, and a resident of Arizona for at least three years. The proposed changes aim to ensure that legislators have a stronger connection to the specific districts they represent. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to voters at the next general election, and there is no anticipated fiscal impact on the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
