2023 Environmental Report Card for AZ Legislature and Governor Release Briefing
Phoenix, AZ – On Wednesday, August 30, 2023, Sierra Club, joined by Chispa Arizona, will release its 2023 Environmental Report Card for the Arizona Legislature and Governor, and will hold a briefing for the media on the contents of the report card.
The 2023 Legislative Session was the longest session on record, officially spanning 204 days and finally wrapping up on July 31st. Very little of note was accomplished relative to environmental protection, however, and Governor Hobbs’ veto stamp got a workout as legislators sent up a slew of bad ideas, some repeatedly. Key issues were bills to undermine or prohibit transit, hinder solar energy, and weaken protections for water, plus a huge number of bills to make voting and early voting more difficult.
