The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section (15-120.05) to Title 15, Chapter 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which mandates that public schools provide reasonable accommodations for individuals who are unwilling or unable to use multi-occupancy restrooms or changing facilities designated for their sex. This includes access to single-occupancy restrooms or employee facilities upon written request. The bill also specifies that accommodations do not extend to restrooms designated for the opposite sex when such individuals are present.

Additionally, the bill introduces legal remedies for individuals who encounter persons of the opposite sex in designated facilities or are required to share sleeping quarters with them, allowing for private causes of action against the school. It outlines the process for filing claims, including the requirement to initiate civil actions within two years and the potential for recovering damages and attorney fees. Definitions for key terms such as "changing facility," "restroom," and "sex" are also provided, establishing a clear framework for the implementation of the law, which would be known as the "Arizona Accommodations for All Children Act."
