| Session Schedule: |
Arizona House of Representatives
49th LEGISLATURE (2009–2010)
Speaker: Kirk Adams (R)
Republicans: 35 (58%)
Democrats: 25 (42%)
Female legislators: 16 (27%)
Incumbents: 38 (63%)
Standing committees: 21
Basic structure—The Arizona Legislature consists of a 30-member Senate and a 60-member House of Representatives. All 90 legislators have two-year terms and are elected concurrently in November of even-numbered years. Term limits restrict legislators to four consecutive terms in the same office. (It is not uncommon for legislators to switch to the other chamber when they reach their eight-year maximum.)
Legislative sessions—The Arizona Legislature meets for only one regular session each year, beginning in January and typically lasting roughly 100 days. (However, recent sesions have been longer: The 2008 session lasted 165 days.)
An unlimited number of special sessions can be called by the governor or (more rarely) initiated by the legislature itself. If the session is called by the governor the legislature can only address the specific matters identified
in the governor’s call. In recent years, the legislature has met for an average of three special sessions each year.
Such sessions can last only a few hours or up to several months. It is customary for the governor to call a special session during a regular session when the state’s general appropriations bill is ready for consideration. This compels the legislature to drop all other business and focus exclusively on the budget. Even when the legislature is not in formal session, legislators often work on upcoming legislation, participate in meetings, and respond to constituent needs.
A “citizen legislature”—The formal qualifications for serving in the legislature are fairly low: A legislator must only be at least 25 years old, an Arizona resident for three years, a county resident for one year, a registered voter, and English proficient. Because legislative service is only part-time and compensation is low (see below), most legislators have private-sector jobs on the side. This type of legislature is called a “citizen legislature” to distinguish it from legislatures like the U.S. Congress, which are made up of full-time, professional politicians.
