This bill proposes to amend section 41-1225 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the forfeiture of office for legislators. Under current law, a member of the legislature who is convicted of any felony must forfeit their office and is permanently disqualified from holding any office in the state. The bill removes references to specific sections (41-1282 and 41-1283) that are currently included in the statute.

If the bill becomes law, it will maintain the requirement for a legislator to forfeit their office upon felony conviction but will update the language to clarify that the forfeiture applies to "the legislator's office" instead of using the pronoun "his." The overall consequence of felony conviction remains unchanged, ensuring that legislators are still disqualified from holding any office in the state.
