Arizona Public Employee Pension Amendment (2012)

| This measure did not or will not appear on a ballot |
An Arizona Public Employee Pension Amendment did not make the 2012 ballot in the state of Arizona as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The measure was expected to be proposed during the 2011 state legislative session. Lawmakers considered sending the measure to the ballot in order to change the Arizona Constitution provision that protected benefits by stating that they "shall not be diminished or impaired." This would have allowed Arizona lawmakers to consider whether or not to abolish the pension system for elected officials.[1]
