PHOENIX, AZ — Nearly three months in, and Arizonans can count on two hands the number of bills that have been signed into law so far in 2024.
It's hard to confirm Shope's statement because the Arizona Legislature's website does not generally provide session data from previous years in terms of what was accomplished on a monthly or weekly basis. Instead, it tallies up the number of bills introduced, passed, and signed as a whole by the end of the term.
So far this year, Hobbs has received 16 bills, signed seven, and vetoed two. Seven of the received bills were transferred this week and the governor's office has not yet shared if Hobbs signed or vetoed any of them. So far in 2024, as of Wednesday afternoon, 10 measures have been transmitted to the Arizona Secretary of State to make the ballot.
