Elections Early Voting Tabulation
HB 2001 lets counties tabulate early ballots on-site during early voting and on Election Day, speeding results. Voters may drop early ballots at voting sites only until 7 p.m. Friday; after that, return to the elections office by 7 p.m. Election Day or bring the sealed ballot to a site for on-site tabulation with ID. In-person early voting runs through Monday. The bill adds extra machine testing, chain-of-custody rules, and more voting locations, aiming to improve access and trust.

Clergy Priests Duty To Report
This bill makes clergy mandatory reporters of child abuse and neglect. They must alert police or child safety if they suspect abuse is happening, will continue, or could endanger other kids. Private confessions stay confidential only if the abuse is not ongoing or a future threat. Courts may question clergy in such cases. The goal is faster protection for children, but it limits religious confidentiality. Failure to report can bring criminal charges.

Prohibition of Vaccination and Mask Mandates for Governments and Public Schools
This bill would ban Arizona governments, including public schools and local agencies, from requiring masks or any vaccines. It adds that the federal government can’t mandate them in the state. Businesses may not require any vaccination or masks to enter or work (with safety exceptions). Long-standing workplace safety mask rules can remain, and government-run hospitals may still require vaccines for employees. Effectively, this bill would end school and job vaccine mandates.

Sexual Material Consent for Synthetic Depictions
This bill, known as the “Protect Act,” expands Arizona law to ban the nonconsensual sharing of sexual images—including those created or altered by AI—of identifiable people. Commercial websites hosting such content must verify that everyone depicted has consented and was at least 18 years old at the time the material was created, using methods like affidavits or metadata. The Attorney General cannot inspect these records on request. The bill exempts parody, art, news, education, public criticism, and certain technology providers, while increasing civil penalties and allowing both the Attorney General and affected individuals to take legal action.

Liability for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Law Violations
This bill would allow people to sue companies, schools, government agencies, and other organizations that use certain banned diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Successful lawsuits would guarantee at least $100,000 in damages, plus other compensation and legal costs, and could result in a court order to stop the policy; claims must be filed within three years. The bill targets DEI, critical race theory (CRT), and anti-racism policies, especially those suggesting one race or sex is superior, the U.S. is fundamentally racist or sexist, or that people should feel guilt based on race or sex.

Implementation of Forensic Audits and Penalties to Reduce Error Rates for the Administration of SNAP
This bill creates a plan to reduce Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payment mistakes to 3% by 2030. The state agency that administers SNAP, would be required to file yearly progress reports starting in 2027-28. If it misses targets, it must submit a fix plan in 60 days, start paying half of any federal penalties, and follow Auditor General oversight. Each year the agency fails to meet these corrective requirements, the agency's funding will be cut by 10 percent for the following year. Separately, a forensic audit will be conducted in 2031 to find causes and require fixes within a year.

Parents’ Bill of Rights and Remedies
This bill expands parental rights by requiring schools and government agencies to get written parental consent before using a different name or pronouns for a child. Schools must also provide parents access to all educational and health records, including counseling notes, and staff are prohibited from withholding any information about a child’s well-being from parents. Parents can sue for violations, with minimum penalties of $500,000 against agencies and $20,000 against individual employees; public funds cannot be used to cover these costs. Any past violations must be disclosed to parents within six months or the same penalties apply.

Confidentiality for Artificial Intelligence Communications
This bill would create a new rule in Arizona that makes conversations with artificial intelligence (AI) confidential in the same way as private talks with licensed professionals like lawyers, doctors, or therapists. If you use an AI system to ask for advice—on legal, medical, mental health, or other sensitive topics—your discussions would be protected and generally could not be used as evidence in court cases, police investigations, or lawsuits. This means companies running AI systems would be required to keep these conversations private, much like professionals do with their clients.

Legislative Subpoena Refusal and Contempt Procedures
This bill is designed to make it easier and faster for the Arizona Legislature to enforce subpoenas during investigations. Under this bill, if someone receives a subpoena from the Legislature, knows about it, and has the ability to comply but chooses not to, a legislative committee or the President of the Senate/Speaker of the House can—after giving the person notice and a chance to explain—declare them in contempt without needing a vote from the entire chamber. Once someone is found in contempt, the sergeant-at-arms can arrest them if there is a signed order or resolution.

Lawful Presence Verification for Public Programs
This bill proposes that Arizona agencies must use a federal government system to verify whether someone is a U.S. citizen or has legal immigration status before allowing them to register to vote, receive a driver’s license or state ID, or qualify for certain public health benefits. The specific system mentioned is the “Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements” (SAVE) program, run by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This means that state and county officials would need to check every applicant’s status against federal records as part of their application process.

While Arizona does not currently have such a requirement, this bill would ensure the state cannot mandate it in the future. The goal is to keep loan decisions based solely on financial qualifications, rather than government-imposed social or environmental ratings, while still allowing banks to set their own standards.

Renewable Energy Equipment Valuation and Depreciation
This bill changes how Arizona calculates property taxes for renewable energy projects like solar farms and battery storage. Only projects owned by a utility or with an exclusive utility agreement that begin construction before January 1, 2030, will receive a major tax break, with just 20% of the equipment’s value (after depreciation) taxed. Utility projects that start after December 31, 2029, lose this benefit and are taxed on the full depreciated value. Privately owned or non-utility-connected projects never receive this tax break and will always be taxed on their full value after depreciation.

It also strengthens registration and enforcement for both state and local petition circulators, ensuring paid and out-of-state circulators are tracked and accountable. Paying people based on the number of signatures they collect is still not allowed.

Arizona Secure Elections Act
This proposed constitutional amendment would introduce new rules for elections in the state. It would require that only U.S. citizens can register and vote in Arizona elections, and all voters would need to show a government-issued photo ID every time they vote, whether in person or by mail. To receive a mail-in ballot, voters would have to provide documented proof of citizenship at registration and confirm their mailing address before each general election. The measure also bans foreign nationals from contributing or spending money to influence Arizona elections. Early voting would end at 7:00 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day, except that mail-in ballots sent through the U.S. Postal Service could be accepted until the polls close on Election Day. If approved by the Legislature, it would appear on the 2026 general election ballot as the “Arizona Secure Elections Act”.

Precinct-Based Voting and Voting Center Restrictions
This proposed constitutional amendment would require most voters on Election Day to cast their ballots at their assigned neighborhood polling place, rather than at any countywide voting center. Counties would need to create smaller precincts, provide a polling site for each one—using schools or state buildings when possible—and take additional steps to reduce wait times. Early voting and emergency sites would still be available, and voters could update their addresses at those locations. While this approach could bring polling places closer to home, it would remove the flexibility to vote anywhere in the county on Election Day.

Public School Released Time for Religious Education
This bill requires all Arizona public and charter schools to allow students, with written parental permission, to leave campus during school hours for off-site religious instruction lasting one to five hours per week. The organizations offering these classes must maintain attendance records, take responsibility for students while off campus, and ensure their instructors have qualifications comparable to regular school teachers. Schools are not responsible for transportation or costs related to these courses; those must be handled by the provider, student, or parents.

Prohibiting Foreign Contributions in Elections
This proposed constitutional amendment would ban foreign individuals, governments, or organizations outside the U.S. from contributing money, goods, or services to influence Arizona ballot measure campaigns. Committees must certify in financial reports that they have not accepted foreign contributions, with false statements considered perjury. Federally recognized U.S. tribal nations are exempt. “Foreign national” includes noncitizens, foreign governments and parties, and overseas entities. If passed by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot. If voters approve, it would apply to future Arizona elections.

Inflation-Adjusted Compensation for Elective State Officers
This proposed constitutional amendment would automatically adjust state legislators’ salaries each year for inflation, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), once voters approve a salary level. Pay would rise or fall annually with the cost of living, without new public votes. For other elected state officials, a commission could recommend salary changes, and the governor may submit these to the legislature—taking effect automatically unless specifically rejected or changed. The aim is to keep compensation current and avoid outdated salaries. If passed by the Legislature, it will appear on the 2026 general election ballot.
