AI Summary

  • Proposes a constitutional amendment to change how Arizona state legislator salaries are set, removing the current requirement for voter approval of legislative pay recommendations
  • Currently, the Commission on Salaries for Elective State Officers must submit legislative salary recommendations to voters at a general election for approval; this amendment eliminates that voter approval requirement
  • State legislator salaries would instead be "established by law" through standard legislative action, the same process used for other state officials
  • Maintains the existing commission process for recommending salaries for other elected state officers (governor, other executives), which requires gubernatorial approval but not a public vote
  • The proposed amendment would appear on the next general election ballot for Arizona voters to approve or reject
