This year, the Arizona legislature has not passed any bills, because the Senate has done nothing except work on the state budget. According to this news story, one legislator is predicting that the state budget will be approved by May 8. In that case, the legislature could turn to non-budget bills, including election law bills. They include a bill to set an August deadline for independent candidate petitions, and a bill to give political parties the right to invite independents into their presidential primaries, and a bill to make it illegal to pay petitioners on a per-signature basis.
