The Arizona Senate is the upper chamber of the Arizona State Legislature, which is responsible for making state laws. It consists of 30 members who are elected to serve two-year terms. Each senator represents a specific district within the state, and the Senate works alongside the Arizona House of Representatives to create and pass legislation. The Senate plays a crucial role in the legislative process, including reviewing bills, holding hearings, and voting on proposed laws. Additionally, it has the authority to confirm appointments made by the Governor of Arizona and to conduct investigations on various issues affecting the state.
