Gov. Hobbs signs new batch of legislation following passage of Division of Developmental Disabilities bill

Published May 2, 2025 8:29 PM MST

Governor Katie Hobbs decided on nearly 60 bills, passed along to her office from the State Legislature.

Some of them include a bill to require charter school leaders to undergo criminal record checks, a bill to establish a maternal fatality review system in Arizona and another that outlaws AI generated pornographic images of someone without their consent.

Hobbs had previously put a moratorium on signing legislation until the state Congress passed funding for the Division of Developmental Disabilities.

That bill was signed by Hobbs on April 30.
