AI Summary

  • Proposes an amendment to Article IV, Part 1, Section 1 of the Arizona Constitution relating to initiative and referendum powers.

  • Requires every initiative measure to embrace only one subject and matters properly connected therewith, which subject shall be expressed in the title; measures that violate this single-subject rule are void as to the portions not expressed in the title.

  • Clarifies language throughout the constitutional section by replacing outdated terms (e.g., "per centum" with "percent," "he" with "the secretary of state") without substantive changes to initiative and referendum procedures.

  • Maintains existing protections for voter-approved initiatives and referendums, including prohibitions on gubernatorial veto and legislative repeal without three-fourths supermajority approval that furthers the measure's purposes.

  • Submitted to voters at the next general election following Secretary of State procedures under Article XXI of the Arizona Constitution; passed by House on March 4, 2021 and Senate on June 29, 2021.
