Arizona State RepresentativeDescription: The Arizona Legislature has two chambers. The State Senate is the upper chamber and comprises 30 Senators, one from each of Arizona’s 30 legislative districts. The House of Representatives is the lower chamber and comprises 60 Representatives, 2 from each of Arizona’s 30 legislative districts. Arizona Representatives must be at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for 10 years, an Arizona resident for 3 years, and a resident in the district they represent for 1 year. The term of office is 2 years, limited to 4 terms. Arizona has no staggered terms, so every member of the Legislature is up for reelection every two years. All seats are elected every 2 years in even-numbered years.Responsibilities: Both chambers of the Legislature propose new laws and amendments to current laws, including proposed amendments to the state constitution to be referred to the voters for approval and write and approve the state budget. In addition, the House can impeach state elected officials.Why you should care: With the Governor s approval, the legislature enacts laws that affect crucial aspects of our daily lives, including state taxes, how the money is spent, your voting rights, the criminal justice system, women’s rights, the environment, immigration, education, gun safety. The legislature can bring a legislative initiative (new law) directly to the voters without gathering signatures. Proposed changes to the state constitution originate in the legislature.Additional information:https://www.azhouse.govhttps://www.azcleanelections.gov/how-government-works/arizona-state-senators-and-representatives________________________________________________________________________________________El Representante Estatal de ArizonaDescripción: La Legislatura de Arizona tiene dos cámaras.
