AZ SB1430

Removes requirement that circulators of initiative, referendum, and recall petitions have their statements notarized by a notary public.

Changes terminology from "affidavit" to "statement" throughout petition procedures for initiatives, referendums, and recall elections.

Eliminates grounds for rejecting petition sheets based on missing notary signatures, expired notary commissions, or missing notary seals.

Allows circulators who are not residents of Arizona to register with the secretary of state and establishes procedures for receiving service of process for non-resident circulators.

Maintains signature verification procedures and county recorder certification requirements, but streamlines the process by removing notarization as a mandatory element.
