State Agencies

Arizona State Agencies are the various State-level Departments, Bureaus, Offices, and other governmental Bodies of the State of Arizona. These entities are divided among the three constitutional Departments, or Branches, of the Arizona State Government: Those Agencies of a legislative Nature are housed in the legislative Department and overseen by the Arizona State Legislature; those that are of an executive or administrative Nature are housed in the executive Department and overseen by the Governor of Arizona of the State of Arizona; and those that are judicial in type are contained within the judicial Department and overseen by the Arizona Supreme Court. Under the system of Arizona constitutional Law, all three constitutional Departments (branches: legislative, executive, and judicial) are co-equal with one another; and while the Governor is considered to be the de facto Head of State (even though he is merely the chief Officer of the executive Department) in addition to the being the de jure Head of Government, no one Department is more or less powerful or authoritative than the other two.

State of Arizona | Legislative Department[edit | edit source]

Arizona State Legislature

US-AZ seal-Arizona State Legislature.svg

link://legis.arizona.gov

The Arizona State Legislature is the state Legislature of the State of Arizona. A bicameral Legislature, it is composed of a 30-member upper house styled the Senate and a 60-member lower house called the House of Representatives. Members of the Senate are called Senators, and those of the House of Representatives are called Representatives. Both the Senate and House of Representatives are equal partners in the legislative process; however, each body possesses certain powers that the other does not. For example, the Senate must give “advice and consent” to all gubernatorial appointments before the appointments may take effect, and in like manner the Senate must also ratify treaties signed by the Governor before they may be executed; furthermore, all revenue-raising bills must originate in the House of Representatives, while all spending bills must originate in the Senate (but the other house may propose and adopt amendments, as in other bills).

The Senate was intended to be more of a sober and stable body that was less in tune with popular passion and whimsy, while the House of Representatives was designed to be closer to the People and more in tune with their needs of the day. The reasoning behind this was that, while the House would be more responsive to the People’s passion of the day, the Senate would act as a more clear-headed and wise body that would serve to limit the populism of the House of Representatives: Not only are there checks and balanaces between the three branches of the Arizona State Government, but also there are checks and balances between the two branches of the Arizona State Legislature.

Senate[edit | edit source]

US-AZ seal-Arizona State Senate.svg

The Arizona Senate is the upper house of the Arizona State Legislature. It is composed of thirty Members chosen by the Electorate in each of the fifteen Counties of the State, with each County choosing between one and three Senators (more populous Counties choose more Senators), but each County is entitled to choose at least one Senator. Senators are elected to a Term of six Years, and elections are staggered so that every two Years one-third of the Seats in the Senate (10 seats) are up for election.


House of Representatives[edit | edit source]

US-AZ seal-Arizona State House of Representatives.svg

The Arizona House of Representatives is the lower house of the Arizona State Legislature. It is composed of sixty Members chosen in each of the thirty Legislative Districts (two Representatives are chosen in each District), who are elected to a Term of two Years; and, unlike in the Senate, all sixty Seats in the House of Representatives are up for election every two Years.

The Arizona State Executive Department is the executive branch of the Arizona State Government. Headed by the Governor of Arizona, the primary organ of the Executive is the Arizona State Council, which is the name by which the State cabinet is styled. The Arizona State Council is composed of the Governor, as president and chair, and the thirty State executive departments. The Governor chairs meetings of the State Council, and as chief Executive he makes all final decisions. If the Governor is incapacitated, killed, absent from the State, or otherwise unable to execute the Powers and Duties of his Office, the President of the Arizona Senate deputizes in his stead for the duration of the disability, including chairing meetings of the Arizona State Council.

Arizona State Council[edit | edit source]

The State Council of the State of Arizona is a body in the executive part (branch) of the Arizona State Government, composed of the Governor and the principle Officer in each of the executive Departments and Agencies of the Arizona State Government. The State Council is the functional equivalent of a presidential Cabinet; and is responsible for executing the Constitution and laws of Arizona and the Constitution and laws of the United States throughout the State, and for carrying on the day-to-day government (governance) of the State.

Qualifications[edit | edit source]

Under Arizona law, no Person, having been convicted under State law for treason, felony, or domestic violence, is eligible to any Office of Profit or Trust in or under the State of Arizona or any place subject to its jurisdiction. This includes all Offices in or under the State of Arizona of an elected or appointive nature, at all levels of Government, from municipal, to county, to State, as well as school boards and other special-government entities. This qualification also equally extends and applies to offices at the Federal-level with the offices of Senator and Representative, respectively, in Congress. However, qualifications for Governor-General are regulated entirely at the Federal-level by way of the United States Constitution and constitutionally-authorized Acts of Congress.

Titles and styles[edit | edit source]

The Head of each Department is the Secretary, officially the “Secretary of the Department of (portfolio)”: Howevever, the exceptions to this rule are the Head of the Department of the Attorney-General (the Attorney-General of the State); the Head of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (Superintendent of AHCCCS); the Head of the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (Superintendent of ARRA); and the Heads of the Corporation Commission (Commissioners).

The style for the Secretaries and Superintedents is, “Secretary/Superintendent”; while the honorific for both is in the form, “The Honorable [name], Secretary/Superintendent of [agency]”.

However, the style for the Governor is in the form, “Governor”; while the honorific are in the forms, “The Honorable [name], Governor of the State of Arizona”, and, “His/Her Excellency, the Governor of the State of Arizona”.

Members and role[edit | edit source]

The Arizona State Council is composed of the Governor and the Heads of the thirty (30) principal State agencies, and exercises the regulatory and executive Powers of the State under the direction, supervision, and control of the Governor. The Governor is Head of the State Council and, and such, presides over all meetings of the State Council; appoints (with Senate confirmation) and dismisses (on his own prerogative) Heads of the principal State agencies; and directs, supervises, and controls the thirty principal State agencies vis-á-vis their Heads sitting in the State Council.

Agencies and offices[edit | edit source]


Office of Governor[edit | edit source]

Website: link://governor.arizona.gov

The Governor is Arizona’s head of State and head of Government, and, as such, she is both the chief public Representative of the State and the head of the Arizona Executive Department (executive branch of the Arizona State Government); all executive Power of the State of Arizona is vested in the Office of Governor. In addition, the Governor is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Arizona State Guard; Colonel-in-Chief of the Arizona State Troopers; and, during Emergencies and other extra-ordinary Situations, has the Power to take Command of any or all county Sheriff’s Offices, municipal Police departments, and special-purpose law enforcement Agencies in the State.

  3. Ensure that the Charters, Ordinances, and Regulations of the various political Subdivisions of Arizona[1] are in full compliance with the Constitution and Laws of Arizona;

Office of Lieutenant-Governor[edit | edit source]

Website: link://lt.governor.arizona.gov

The Lieutenant-Governor of Arizona is the first deputy of the Governor of the State. Elected on the same ticket, and to the same term as the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor is first in line to the Governorship, and as such the Powers and Duties of the Office of Governor devolve upon the Lieutenant-Governor in case of Death, Incapacitation, or other Disability of the Governor which prevents him from carrying out the duties and responsibilities of his Office. However, while being the principal deputy to the Governor, the main, day-to-day responsibility of the Lieutenant-Governor is serving as the President of the State Senate; and as such, the Lieutenant-Governor is first and foremost considered an active member of the Legislative Department and not an officer housed within the Executive Department. When the Lieutenant-Governor is tasked with exercising the Powers and Duties of the Office of Governor, the State Senate elects from their own number a President pro Tempore, who carries out the Powers and Duties of the Lieutenant-Governor pertaining to his role as Senate President, until such time as the Lieutenant-Governor returns to the Senate as their President, or until a new Governor and Lieutenant-Governor are elected and sworn in.



Department of State and Foreign Affairs[edit | edit source]

US-AZ sipE-State & Foreign Affairs.png
Website: link://state.arizona.gov

The Arizona Department of State and Foreign Affairs, usually shortened to "Department of State", is the State's combined foreign, elections, records and archives, notary-public, trademark registration, and copy certification (certified copies) ministry. Among other responsibilities, the Department is tasked with carrying out the Governor's foreign Policy and the United States' Common Foreign Policy, as well as ensuring the proper functioning of all State, county, local, and Federal electoral systems within Arizona. The Department is headed by a Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs, commonly known as "Secretary of State". After the Governor, the Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs is the most senior member of in the Executive Department. However, the Secretary of State is not the first in the gubernatorial order of succession; rather, the President of the Arizona Senate, in his dual-hat role as Lieutenant-Governor, is first in line to succeed to the Office of Governor in the event that the duly elected Governor is killed, incapacitated, is absent from the State (during such absence, the Lieutenant-Governor serves only as Acting Governor until the elected Governor returns to the State), or is otherwise unable to execute the Powers and Duties of his Office. XXXX


Department of the Attorney-General[edit | edit source]

ARIZONA sip-AttorneyGeneral-Department.svg
Website: link://attorney-general.arizona.gov

The Arizona Department of the Attorney-General is responsible for providing legal counsel to the State and to local governments on all matters of State and Federal law. The Department is also the State-level prosecutor's office; however, the fifteen County-Attorney offices carry out most of this responsibility: for the most part, the Department of the Attorney-General would only take on the role of prosecutor in extraordinary circumstances and for extraordinary crimes, such as investigating corruption in one of the County-Attorney offices or investigating corruption in the offices of senior State officers, or prosecuting the crime of treason. However, the Department of the Attorney-General is responsible for prosecuting federal offenses. The Department of the Attorney-General is headed by the Attorney-General of Arizona. The AG must be an attorney licensed by the State Bar of Arizona and have had practiced Law in Arizona for at least five Years prior to his appointment as Attorney-General and, like every State or local Officer, must have not been convicted, under Arizona law, of Treason, Felony, or domestic Violence.

The post of Attorney-General is a powerful one, especially in that the AG may issue advisory opinions on Matters of State and Federal law, which are binding unless and until overridden by the Legislature or the Courts; however, opinions issued by the Arizona AG on Matters of Federal Law may also be overridden by the United States Attorney-General.

The Department is also the primary enforcer of Arizona’s antitrust, consumer Fraud, organized Crime, and civil Rights laws. This gives the Attorney-General significant ability to shape public Policy. The Department also prosecutes administrative disciplinary Actions against Doctors, Dentists, real estate Agents, licensed Contractors, and others who hold occupational Licenses.

The Attorney-General, both personally and through the Department of the Attorney-General, also plays an important, but not exclusive Role in criminal law Enforcement: In Arizona, most Crimes are initially Tried at the County-level in superior Court by elected County Attorneys and their Staffs. Appeals of criminal Convictions are, however, typically handled by the Department of the Attorney-General to ensure Statewide consistency on important legal Issues. In addition, the Attorney-General has supervisory Powers over County Attorneys and can take over local criminal Prosecutions at the request of the Governor or County —this usually occurs when a County Attorney has a conflict of Interest.

Department of Public Safety[edit | edit source]

ARIZONA sip-Public Safety-Department.svg
Website: link://publicsafety.arizona.gov

The Department of Public Safety, also known as the “Arizona State Troopers”, is responsible for maintaining law and order throughout the State. However, in practice, much of this responsibility is carried out by the fifteen Sheriff's Offices and the numerous municipal and specialist police agencies. The Department of Public Safety is, however, vested with primary jurisdiction over certain, specific offenses, and exclusive enforcement authority over various statutes (primarily those which pertain to immigration, customs, foreign affairs, national security, trans-national crime, arms and human smuggling, white-collar crime, and financial crimes); and is vested with exclusive jurisdiction, both investigative and enforcement, over all State property, State facilities (including State military installations), and State Lands. DPS coordinate with the Department of Military Affairs on security matters for Arizona embassies and Arizona ambassadors abroad, and military support of civil authorities; as well as coordinating with the Department of Civil Defense on matters of emergency management, civil defense, continuity of government, counterterrorism, and homeland security.

Also a gendarmerie force, the Department of Public Safety have a wide-ranging mandate, however the Agency has delegated many of its responsibilities to county Sheriffs and municipal Police.

The Department of Public Safety is under the command of the Secretary of the Department of Public Safety, with the rank of Colonel, who is appointed by the Governor, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Arizona Senate. The Secretary is assisted by a Senior Undersecretary, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Secretary. The Department is composed of seven primary divisions - State Patrol (formerly Highway Patrol); Criminal Investigations; Technical Services; Agency Support; Homeland Security; Criminal Justice; and the Secretary’s Office. The seven program Divisions are each headed by an Undersecretary, each with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.

Arizona State Courts[edit | edit source]


Arizona Supreme Court[edit | edit source]

US-AZ sip-JD-Supreme Court.png
link://supreme.courts.arizona.gov

The Arizona Supreme Court is the supreme Court of the State of Arizona. It consists of a chief Justice and six associate Justices. Each Justice is appointed by the Governor of Arizona from a List recommended by a bipartisan Commission (See: Missouri Plan). Justices stand for retention in an Election two Years after their appointment, and then every six Years thereafter.[2] They must retire at age 70.

The chief Justice is chosen for a Term of five Years by the Members of the Court, and is eligible for re-election. He supervises the administration of all the inferior Courts, that is all Courts below the supreme Court. The chief Justice is also the Chairman of the Commission on Appellate Court Appointments, which nominates Candidates to fill Vacancies in the appellate Courts (including the supreme Court). If the Governor fails to appoint one of the nominated Candidates within sixty Days of their Names being submitted to him, the chief Justice makes the appointment.

The Jurisdiction of the Court is prescribed by Article VI, Section 5 of the Arizona Constitution. Most of the appeals heard by the Court first go through the Arizona Court of Appeal, except for death penalty Cases, over which the Arizona Supreme Court has sole appellate jurisdiction. The Court also has original Jurisdiction in a few other circumstances as outlined in the Arizona Constitution. A Quorum is five, but the whole Court must sit in order to declare a Law unconstitutional.[3]


Arizona Court of Appeal[edit | edit source]

US-AZ sip-JD-Court of Appeal.png
link://appeal.courts.arizona.gov

The Court of Appeal of the State of Arizona, more commonly known as the Arizona Court of Appeal, is the intermediate appellate court in the Arizona Integrated Judicial Department (the judicial part (branch) of the Arizona State Government). The Court is authorized by Article VI, section 10, of the Arizona Constitution[4] and formally established in 1713 with the enactment of the Judiciary Act, 1713. The official seat of the Arizona Court of Appeal is in Tucson, in the Arizona Court of Appeal building, which is located at 400 West Congress Street; but the Court of Appeal, like the State supreme Court, regularly holds sessions throughout the State as part of its public outreach and civic engagement programs.


Arizona Superior Court[edit | edit source]

US-AZ sip-JD-Superior Court.png
link://superior.courts.arizona.gov

The Superior Court of the State of Arizona is the Arizona state court of general jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction
The Arizona Constitution provides the superior Court with jurisdiction over:

Divisions
Under Article 6, section 13, of the Arizona Constitution, “[t]he superior Courts provided for in this section shall constitute a single Court, composed of all the duly elected or appointed Judges in each of the Counties of the State.” In this sense, the single Superior Court of the State of Arizona is divided into fifteen divisions, conterminous with the fifteen Counties of Arizona. Officially, each Superior Court division is styled the “Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of (County)”.[5] For example, the Superior Court division located in Coconino County is officially the, “Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Coconino.”
