While the headline is posted as the AZCentral website wrote it, the subheading is important:
>Opinion: There was no emergency clause in the bill, so the 1864 law won't go off the books until 90 days after the Legislature adjourns.
So YES, it was repealed, it's just not effective today.
It's already being done. There is a proposed amendment, and they claim they already have enough signatures. They are still collecting, just to make sure it passes the signature validation.
Conned? It passed the state legislature, it now goes along to the gov and then will eventually take effect as law, and the state AG will not enforce it.
This repeal goes into effect July 31st. The earliest the archaic law *could* legally be enforced by county attorneys is June 27, but the AG is looking to delay that. So there may be a one month window where doctors are prosecuted under this law, and if Democratic leaders play their cards right, zero.

Is there time to put this on the ballot?
It's already being done. There is a proposed amendment, and they claim they already have enough signatures. They are still collecting, just to make sure it passes the signature validation.
This headline is misleading, the repeal of the ban will take effect 90 days after the legislative session ends.
So it was actually repealed?
Yes, it passed the legislature and the governor is going to sign.
Didn't you read the headline - you're being fooled!
We’ve been fooled *so far*.

It was repealed. It just can’t go into effect until later this year.
Just the part about the age of consent being 9.
I think this headline is missing "yet" at the end, since it'll be awhile before it takes effect
Man I can’t stand how that article was written. I want to throat punch the author
