On February 19, the Arizona House Appropriations Committee passed HCR 2036 by 7-6. It amends the state constitution to delete age requirements to run and hold state office. Currently members of the legislature and Governors must be at least age 25, and state judges must be age 30. The sponsor promised to amend his bill to insert age 21 as the limit, but the bill as passed sets an age 18 limit. The sponsor is Representative Anthony Kern (R-Glendale).

If this bill passes, then the voters would vote on the idea in November 2018.
