On June 25, the Arizona House Judiciary Committee passed three election law bills of interest.

SB 1091 is the Secretary of State’s omnibus election law bill. It passed unanimously. It moves the independent presidential petition deadline from June to September, and says that out-of-state circulators can work on an independent presidential petition, but not any other kind of petition.

SCR 1025 provides that the voters will say in November 2010 whether they want to abolish public funding of candidates for state office.

SB 1123 forces Tucson to stop using partisan elections, and start using non-partisan elections.

None of these bills has an urgency clause, so they would not go into effect until 90 days after the end of the legislative session. The session will probably end in early July.
