The proposed bill would amend section 15-506 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the responsibilities of school districts and charter schools regarding the recitation of the pledge of allegiance. Currently, the law mandates that schools set aside time for a moment of silence but does not require any notification to parents regarding students who choose not to recite the pledge. The bill introduces a new requirement that schools must notify the parents of each student who does not participate in reciting the pledge.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language by replacing the term "districts" with "district" and "schools" with "school," streamlining the terminology used in the statute. It also removes the previous item numbered 6, which is now replaced by the new requirement for parental notification, while maintaining the structure of the remaining provisions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance communication with parents about their children's participation in the pledge of allegiance.
