AZ HB2257

Changes the trigger for Attorney General investigation from "one or more members" to "a member" of the legislature requesting investigation of local government ordinances allegedly violating state law or Arizona Constitution.

Requires the requesting legislator to send written notice by certified mail to the local government and wait at least seven business days for a written reply before requesting the Attorney General investigation.

Changes the Attorney General's authority from mandatory ("shall") to discretionary ("may") when filing a special action in supreme court for ordinances that may violate state law, and allows the court to discretionarily give precedence rather than requiring it.

Changes the supreme court's authority from mandatory ("shall") to discretionary ("may") regarding requiring the county, city, or town to post a bond equal to six months of state shared revenues during proceedings.

Adds authority for the Attorney General to confer with the requesting member and local government during the 30-day investigation period to resolve the matter.
