public utility commission

SCR 1016 is a constitutional amendment proposal that would rename Arizona's "Corporation Commission" to the "Arizona Public Utility Commission" and make several structural changes. It establishes term limits (max two consecutive terms) for commissioners, specifies a five-member elected body serving four-year terms (with staggered initial terms), and clarifies the commission's regulatory authority over utility rates, classifications, and licensing. The amendment also revises constitutional language about business licensing fees and reporting requirements for corporations. This proposal requires voter approval after legislative passage and does not change the commission's current regulatory responsibilities.
