Maddy summaryHCR 2001 proposes amending Arizona's constitution to establish new voting rules. It would require all voters to be U.S. citizens, mandate free government-issued ID at polling places, ban foreign campaign contributions, and set specific early voting hours ending at 7:00 PM on the Friday before general elections. The amendment also guarantees in-person voting access on election day and allows mail-in ballots only for citizens who formally request them and provide citizenship proof. If approved by voters, it would become "The Arizona Secure Elections Act," but it is currently only a proposed constitutional amendment awaiting voter approval.

Maddy summaryThis resolution, if approved by voters, would require charter schools to publicly report average teacher salaries and salary increases on their websites. It also establishes a "teacher pay fund" funded by state land trust distributions to provide uniform base salary increases for eligible teachers across all schools, regardless of experience level. The fund would cover salary increases mandated by voter-approved state land trust funding, with schools required to submit annual reports on fund usage. The resolution directly affects charter schools, public school districts, and eligible teachers in Arizona, pending voter approval.

Maddy summaryThis is a commemorative resolution (HCR 2063), not a substantive bill. It honors Yvonne Glee Lime Fedderson, founder of Childhelp and a global humanitarian dedicated to child welfare, following her death on January 23, 2026. The resolution expresses the Arizona Legislature's sympathy to her family and admirers, and directs the Secretary of State to send copies of the resolution to her family and Childhelp. It has no policy provisions or impact on legislation.

Maddy summaryHB 2622 is a technical correction to Arizona's boating regulations. It amends Section 5-311 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to fix inconsistent wording (changing "Make Adopt rules" to "Make regulations") in the section describing the commission's authority. The bill does not change any actual boating rules, equipment requirements, or safety programs. It solely corrects typographical errors in the legal text governing how the commission establishes boating regulations. This affects the commission's rule-making process but does not alter how boaters or boat operators are regulated.

Maddy summaryHB 2623 amends Arizona law to clarify notice requirements in juvenile court proceedings. It requires courts to notify prosecutors at least five days before most hearings (except detention hearings), with a written explanation if shorter notice is used. Prosecutors must then provide victims with timely notice of all court dates and schedule changes, including that hearings about sentencing may occur immediately after a juvenile is found guilty. This directly affects juvenile offenders, prosecutors, and victims by improving transparency in court scheduling.

Maddy summaryHB 2625 makes a technical correction to Arizona law by updating the official short title of Chapters 24 through 40 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to "Arizona nonprofit corporation act." This change aligns the statute's reference with common usage but does not alter any legal requirements or obligations for nonprofit corporations. The bill affects how the law is cited and referenced in official contexts, ensuring consistency in legal documents. No substantive policy changes are introduced.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a technical correction to Arizona's Constitution regarding the sale of state trust lands. It amends Article X, Section 4 to clarify existing requirements that trust lands must be appraised at full value before sale, sold only at or above that value, and require full payment before title transfers. The correction fixes minor wording inconsistencies in the current constitutional language. This is a procedural amendment requiring voter approval at the next general election; it does not change the underlying policy or affect any specific individuals or entities differently than current law.

Maddy summaryThis constitutional amendment proposes to clarify Arizona's minimum land sale prices for state-owned lands. It sets a $3 per acre minimum for non-irrigable land and a $25 per acre minimum (based on irrigation potential) for lands suitable for irrigation. The amendment also specifies that Arizona must relinquish state lands to the U.S. when requested by the Secretary of the Interior for federal irrigation projects, with replacement lands selected per federal law. The proposal requires voter approval at the next general election.

Maddy summaryHB 2624 is a technical correction bill that amends Arizona Revised Statutes § 4-204 regarding liquor license transfers. It clarifies wording errors in existing rules allowing estate representatives (like executors or guardians) to temporarily operate a licensee's liquor business for up to 24 months after the licensee's death, provided they get director permission. The bill also specifies that this temporary authority doesn't apply if the license is transferred to a surviving spouse or minor child during that period, and fixes a reference to applicable sections. This adjustment streamlines administrative procedures for license holders during estate transitions without changing core licensing policy.

Maddy summaryThis bill proposes a technical correction to Arizona's constitution regarding the state school fund. It clarifies the specific sources that contribute to the fund (such as school land sales, unclaimed corporate assets, and educational gifts) without changing how funds are used or allocated. The amendment requires voter approval before taking effect, as mandated by Arizona's constitutional process. It does not alter existing funding mechanisms or beneficiaries for Arizona's common and high schools.
