The 52nd Arizona State Legislature, consisting of the Arizona State Senate and the Arizona House of Representatives, was constituted in Phoenix from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016, during the first two years of Doug Ducey's first full term in office. Both the Senate and the House membership remained constant at 30 and 60, respectively. Senate balance was unchanged, leaving the Republicans with a 17-13 majority.
