SB1472 is a proposed bill that seeks to prohibit the use of public monies for promoting, supporting, or maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, as well as engaging in political or social activism. The entities affected by this prohibition include the state of Arizona, universities under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Board of Regents, community colleges, and any county, city, town, or other political subdivision within the state.

The bill represents a significant change from current law by introducing restrictions on how public funds can be used by state and local entities, specifically targeting DEI programs and political or social activism. If passed, this legislation would become effective on the general effective date, with no anticipated fiscal impact to the state's General Fund.
