The resolution proposes an amendment to Article VI, Section 14 of the Arizona Constitution, which pertains to the original jurisdiction of the superior court. The amendment outlines the specific types of cases that fall under the superior court's original jurisdiction, including cases where exclusive jurisdiction is not assigned to another court, cases involving real property, felony criminal cases, actions for forcible entry and detainer, insolvency proceedings, nuisance abatement actions, probate matters, annulments and dissolutions of marriage, naturalization, and other special cases as defined by law.
If approved by voters and proclaimed by the Governor, this amendment will clarify and potentially expand the jurisdiction of the superior court in Arizona. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to the voters during the next general election, ensuring that the public has the opportunity to weigh in on this significant change to the state's judicial framework.
