SB1122 introduces new measures to enforce the display of the U.S. flag, U.S. Constitution, and Bill of Rights in Arizona schools. The bill mandates the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) and the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools (ASBCS) to establish complaint processes for reporting violations by school districts or charter schools. If a violation is confirmed, the offending institution must correct the issue within five days and provide evidence of the correction. Failure to do so, or a repeat offense, will result in a civil penalty of up to $1,000 imposed by the Attorney General.

The bill defines a "first offense" as the initial violation during the school year, while a "repeat offense" is a subsequent violation in the same location as the first, provided the initial violation was corrected. These determinations are subject to administrative appeal. The bill aims to ensure that educational institutions adhere to the requirements of displaying national symbols and documents, with a structured penalty system for non-compliance.
