SCR 1007 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

referendum; municipal zoning change; prohibition

SCR 1007 proposes amending Arizona's constitution to require 60% voter approval for tax-related initiatives or referendums, instead of the current majority standard. This would apply specifically to measures that approve new taxes or tax increases, while non-tax measures would still require only a simple majority. The amendment also prohibits the governor from vetoing tax measures approved by 60% of voters and prevents the legislature from repealing or amending such tax measures without a three-fourths vote in both chambers. It directly affects citizens proposing tax measures through initiative or referendum and the legislature's ability to modify or overturn those measures. This is a procedural constitutional change, not a direct policy affecting municipal zoning or other specific regulations.
