Doug Ducey

Gov. Doug Ducey, with help from Northern Arizona University mascot Louie the Lumberjack, signs legislation authorizing the state’s three universities to borrow $1 billion.

Other ways election laws are being changed:

  • Stipulating that envelopes used for early ballots have to be designed so no one can see through them.
  • Making it illegal to vote in more than one state in elections featuring federal offices that are held on the same day.
  • Allowing voters to opt to get the legally required publicity pamphlet about issues on the election ballot by email rather than snail mail.
  • Imposing new requirements for meetings and voting by homeowners’ associations.
Odds and ends
  • Exempting those who break into a locked vehicle to rescue a child or pet in imminent danger from civil liability.
  • Putting new limits on who can file lawsuits over issues of disability access.
  • Barring people from calling themselves “art therapists” unless they are registered with the Art Therapy Credentials Board.
  • Repealing limits on how much landlords can pay in “finder fees” to those who locate prospective tenants.
  • Enacting new regulations on intrastate movers, including prohibition against refusing to deliver goods, while asking for a higher fee, if the customer pays the price agreed upon before the move.
  • Imposing new limits on the ability of counties to regulate home-based businesses regarding things like traffic, parking and delivery.
  • Increasing the number of licenses to sell beer and wine.
