Arizona Legislature Refers Items to 2026 Ballot

Posted by on August 19, 2025

The 2025 legislative session ended less than two months ago, with 265 bills becoming law. However, this legislative session isn’t the last time we will see a few of those legislative actions. Three resolutions have been referred to the 2026 ballot, where Arizona voters will decide whether or not they should become law.

How does a measure end up on the ballot? The Legislature can refer measures to voters if they pass both chambers, or voters themselves can propose laws or constitutional amendments by collecting enough signatures.

The three resolutions referred by the legislature include:

  1. House Concurrent Resolution 2021 – bans cities and towns from taxing groceries after June 20, 2027, unless voters approve a tax of up to 2%.
  2. House Concurrent Resolution 2055 – would categorize drug cartels as terrorist organizations.
  3. Senate Concurrent Resolution 1004 – prevents government agencies from monitoring vehicle miles or implementing a fee or tax on vehicle miles traveled.

Arizona voters will ultimately decide the outcome of these measures in 2026. As the election approaches, staying informed about each proposal will be key to understanding its potential impact on our state.
