HCR 2005 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

legislative session; adjournment

HCR 2005 proposes amending Arizona's constitution to require the legislature to adjourn its annual session no later than April 30 and to limit special sessions to topics specifically specified by the governor in the call. If approved by voters, this would change the scheduling rules for Arizona's legislative sessions. The bill is currently in early legislative stages (prefiled and first reading) and requires voter approval to take effect.

Introduced Version → House Engrossed Version (03/02/2026) · 3 edits · Mar 2, 2026

MINOR

The bill was renumbered and re-formatted from an 'Introduced Version' to a 'House Engrossed Version' for official legislative record-keeping. The substantive text proposing a constitutional amendment regarding legislative session dates and special session rules remains unchanged, though it contains minor formatting inconsistencies and lowercase text that were not corrected in this version.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the official 'House Engrossed' status with new bill numbering (HCR2005 - 572R - H Ver) and session details, replacing the preliminary 'Prefiled' and 'Introduced' metadata.

The layout and page numbering structure were altered to match standard engrossed bill formatting, moving the resolution text to the front and removing introductory page markers.

The body text of the proposed constitutional amendment was retained but contains minor formatting errors, such as inconsistent capitalization (e.g., 'april 30' instead of 'APRIL 30') and the insertion of the word 'this' before 'state'.
