Katie Hobbs signs off on nearly 60 bills

Governor Katie Hobbs made her mark on a new batch of legislation, signing 34 and vetoing 23.

The Brief

    • Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs swiped on nearly 60 bills that were passed by the State Legislature.
    • The amount of bills signed into law was greater than the amount of bills vetoed.
    • The sweeping move comes after the passage of the Division of Developmental Disabilities Bill was brought to her desk after Hobbs put a moratorium on any other legislation until that bill was passed.

PHOENIX - Governor Katie Hobbs decided on nearly 60 bills, passed along to her office from the State Legislature.

Some of them include a bill to require charter school leaders to undergo criminal record checks, a bill to establish a maternal fatality review system in Arizona and another that outlaws AI generated pornographic images of someone without their consent.

Hobbs had previously put a moratorium on signing legislation until the state Congress passed funding for the Division of Developmental Disabilities.

That bill was signed by Hobbs on April 30.
