HB2470

HB2470 amends Arizona's initiative and referendum processes, including circulator registration and ballot measure descriptions.

HB2470 repeals sections 19-102.01 and 19-111.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and makes several changes to the initiative and referendum process. It requires circulators to register with the Secretary of State, including providing personal information and an affidavit. It mandates that the Secretary of State disqualify signatures collected by unregistered or ineligible circulators. The bill also revises the process for approving ballot measure descriptions, requiring the Attorney General's approval before the official ballots and publicity pamphlet are printed.
