Arizona Proposition 300
Election date November 8, 1994
Topic Administration of government and Property
Status Defeated
Type Veto referendum	Origin Citizens

Arizona Proposition 300 was on the ballot as a veto referendum in Arizona on November 8, 1994. It was defeated.

A "yes" vote supported upholding Section 1 of Senate Bill 1053 (SB 1053), which would have: defined a constitutional taking as government actions, such as rules, permitting conditions, or required exactions, that limit private property use and for which compensation is required; required state agencies to conduct assessments of these actions, adhere to specific criteria, and submit assessments to the governor and legislators.

A "no" vote opposed the legislation, thus repealing Section 1 of SB 1053.
