Representative Montenegro, who sponsored the measure, said the Founders gave states Article V as a constitutional check when the federal government overreaches. \"We have a runaway federal government,\" Montenegro said in closing remarks, urging members to \"flex our constitutional muscle\" and asserting that a convention would be unlikely to occur but that the threat of one compelled Congress to act.

Representative Powell rose to oppose the measure and listed a series of procedural and substantive questions, including who would select delegates, how delegates would be bound, whether deliberations would be public and whether a convention could be limited to specific subjects. Powell warned that an Article V convention could open the Constitution to wide change and quoted historical figures, saying the risks to constitutional protections were real.

Other members spoke for and against the resolution; Representative Fink urged that states use existing powers to resist federal encroachment, while supporters said the threat of an Article V application historically has led Congress to propose amendments. The Committee of the Whole recommended the resolution do pass; on the floor the matter received a voice vote in favor and was reported out for further processing.","Representatives debated a resolution applying to Congress to call an Article V constitutional convention.

Representative Gress, sponsor of the bill, said the measure targets drug dealing and illicit drug use at facilities that primarily serve people experiencing homelessness. Gress said the bill makes it an offense to use or possess illegal drugs inside such facilities and establishes consequences for employees who knowingly violate shelter policies regarding drugs.

During committee consideration Representative Collin raised that the bill's original language did not distinguish legally prescribed medications from illicit substances; the adopted floor amendment corrected that omission, Gress said on the floor. The House voted in committee and by voice in the floor process to pass the bill as amended.

Supporters argued the measure protects vulnerable shelter residents from predatory behavior and helps enforce standards for staff in positions of trust. The bill passed the committee of the whole and was recommended to be engrossed for further processing.","The Arizona House advanced House Bill 2,437 with an amendment clarifying that individuals at homeless shelters may possess legally prescribed drugs; sponsors said the measure aims to protect vulnerable residents and hold employees accountable for knowingly violating shelter drug policies.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6326674,"House honors Michael Hunter for 25 years of service; resolution adopted unanimously",280,844000,1124000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2323812-8849be562a03724b9ade8f2511d59418&start=844&end=1124","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2323812-8849be562a03724b9ade8f2511d59418/thumbnail_844000.jpg","/articles/6326674/Arkansas/House-honors-Michael-Hunter-for-25-years-of-service-resolution-adopted-unanimously","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6326674-70b07f7b6cccb7594613ec27d90c262e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143308&Signature=iIGRNb2mqDlXz3vIS-~DfRVCyt6qYIntfxqozoRjxFgrxHf3pZhOIAwE5S9jGosfjWXspsoEoRBw2hn5dNaMP-IczTisIzl9ehZE9G-SzMz1QP6uxutTvs0vR0eRllLzgKpgj8jj1YHornugU-PXwmPbahQ8AFeTuIL1OopCSalOcakqVpGSltxBpAIg3ATsyIZO3gIHg9TS-1CID6SPECjkz2cXdb2bp~7q9DSqYQLu4j4QNtGwt-SZ5iEexH2xvQVRO85d3lUvnZTocyLt0uHMtFEBxggrtw4PLtepeVBZchLuzjpfjB-256aDe2opZNi-xwvwEeTXUaCkcfYjow__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arizona House of Representatives unanimously adopted House Resolution 2,006 on Feb. 17, 2025, recognizing Michael Hunter for more than 25 years of service to the legislature.

The measure praised his work on school choice, tax reforms and his advisory service on state task forces and committees.

Representative McGeorge moved for unanimous adoption; the House adopted the resolution without objection. Multiple members took points of personal privilege to thank Hunter for his institutional knowledge and mentorship.

Representative Austin moved the resolution for adoption; the House adopted it without objection and observed a moment of silence.
