If you're already in agreement with the need to force Arizona counties to implement a formal complaint process, then the following pages should suffice:

Details for the Skeptic

This is a bulleted outline of the best way to learn more about the proposal and the reasoning behind the proposal.

    • Process Specification - This page explains the process steps, which would be implemented by the counties. This detail is not expected in the bill, which becomes law. The law needs to implement these details.
