I'm not sure about the governor's powers in that respect but any proposition (essentially) can get on the ballot if a % of registered AZ voters signs petition forms regarding the legislation. There was a petition regarding abortion rights this year that was going around the state but it didn't get enough signatures in time to get on the 2022 ballot. Time will tell if they will be successful to get on the 2024 ballot.

The Democratic candidate, Kris Mayes, just won for AG after a recount, and she will be sworn in on Jan 5th. I suspect one of her first actions will be to say that state attornies will not put any resources into enforcement for this law. She will have the backing of the new Dem governor, Katie Hobbs. The AZ legislature is almost an even split so any new laws they pass regarding enforcement will be vetoed without the possibility of overturning the veto.
