The resolution SCR1013 seeks to regulate how school districts and charter schools in Arizona interact with students under 18 years old concerning their gender identity. It stipulates that school employees must refer to students using pronouns and names that correspond to their biological sex as recorded in official school documents, unless they have parental consent to do otherwise. Additionally, the resolution mandates the provision of single-occupancy restrooms or changing facilities for students who prefer not to use multi-occupancy facilities designated for their biological sex. It also allows individuals to pursue legal action if they encounter someone of the opposite sex in designated areas.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of parental rights and outlines the process for students to request accommodations regarding restroom and changing facility access. It defines "biological sex" based on immutable characteristics at birth and establishes a private cause of action for individuals whose accommodation requests are denied. The resolution also allows school employees to refuse to use pronouns that do not align with a student's biological sex if it conflicts with their religious or moral beliefs. If approved by voters, the measure will become law following the Governor's proclamation.
