The 36th Arizona State Legislature, consisting of the Arizona State Senate and the Arizona House of Representatives, was constituted in Phoenix from January 1, 1983, to December 31, 1984, during the first two years of Bruce Babbitt's second full term as Governor of Arizona. Both the Senate and the House membership remained constant at 30 and 60, respectively. The Republicans increased their lead in the Senate by two seats, giving them an 18–12 edge in the upper house, while the Democrats gained four seats in the lower house, although the Republicans still held a 39–21 majority.
