AI Summary

  • Proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Arizona to conduct its own state census every ten years (by December 31 of years ending in zero) to count only U.S. citizens for legislative redistricting purposes.

  • Requires legislative districts to be drawn based on equal "citizen population" rather than total population, while congressional districts would continue to use total population.

  • Establishes a State Census Fund with $5,000,000 transferred annually from the Citizens Clean Election Fund to finance the state census.

  • Grants any member of the legislature standing to initiate legal action to enforce these provisions.

  • Must be approved by voters at the next general election before taking effect, as it amends Article IV of the Arizona Constitution.
