salary; elective state officers

This constitutional amendment proposal (SCR 1029) would establish a commission to recommend salary rates for Arizona's elected state officials, including legislators, governor, attorney general, and others. The commission - appointed by the governor and legislative leaders - would submit salary recommendations to the governor, who would then propose changes to the legislature for most offices. For legislative salaries specifically, recommendations would require voter approval through a referendum at the next general election. If approved, these recommendations would replace existing salary laws without needing new legislation.
