The resolution proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution, specifically targeting Article XIX, which pertains to the office of the mine inspector. It seeks to amend the existing provisions established by Proposition 101 from the 1992 election, while simultaneously repealing the changes made by Proposition 107 from the same year. The amendment establishes the office of mine inspector, detailing the responsibilities of the legislature to regulate mine operations for worker health and safety, and outlines the appointment and election process for the mine inspector, including term limits.
Under the proposed amendment, the mine inspector will be appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and subsequent inspectors will be elected for four-year terms. Importantly, the resolution introduces a term limit, stating that no individual may serve more than two consecutive terms in the office, with a mandatory break of at least one full term before being eligible for re-election. This amendment will be submitted to voters at the next general election for approval.
