The resolution H.C.R. 2048 proposes an amendment to the Arizona Constitution that would prohibit the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and members of the Legislature from receiving their salaries or subsistence payments if the General Appropriations Act for the upcoming fiscal year is not signed into law by April 30. This measure aims to ensure that state officials are held accountable for timely budget approvals. If the General Appropriations Act is enacted after this deadline, any withheld compensation would resume in the first full pay period following its enactment, but it would not be paid retroactively.

Additionally, the resolution outlines that any changes to the salaries of elective state officers must be established by law and cannot take effect during the term of any incumbent. It also mandates that the Secretary of State submit this proposition to voters at the next general election, making its implementation contingent upon voter approval and the Governor's proclamation. The resolution does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
