Arizona representative Alex Kolodin has introduced HB 2022. It moves the non-presidential primaries from the last Tuesday in August to the last Tuesday in July.

Arizona ties the petition deadline for new parties to the date of the primaries, so if this bill passes, the deadline for a new party moves from November of the year before the election, to October of the year before the election. The existing deadline is ludicrous, and this bill would make it even more absurd.
