There are two climate change resolutions in the Arizona Legislature sitting in the House Natural Resources, Energy and Water Committee and the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee.
House Bill: HCR 2033 and Senate Bill: SCR 1024
The resolutions are identical, and are based on the Utah resolution passed last year with the help of the CCL chapters in that state.

These resolutions are a small, but important step for Arizona in acknowledging the importance of climate change to the state and the role of science in guiding our government's actions. It calls for "economically viable and broadly supported private and public solutions" to the problem. All of this leads to other climate change proposals!
Unfortunately, these resolutions are stuck in committee without a hearing and therefore will not advance to the full legislature for consideration. We have one slim chance to change this by mounting an all-out campaign to urge the leaders of these committees to recommend them to the legislature.
