Show all 29 co-sponsored bills

Most bills in any legislature never get a vote; they stop in committee. “Became law” means the Governor signed it (or it became law without a signature).

Where this comes from. Only official public records, shown as they are, without opinions: bills, committees and contact details from the Arizona State Legislature (azleg.gov). Each bill links to its official record.
