This bill proposes significant updates to current statutes by amending title 41, chapter 9, article 10 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, changing the article heading from "TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION" to "PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT." It introduces a new section, 41-1494.01, which prohibits state entities, including cities, towns, and public educational institutions, from compelling individuals to endorse or support preferential treatment or discrimination based on race or ethnicity. The bill outlines specific prohibitions, including requiring statements in support of race-based theories, soliciting confessions of race-based privilege, and spending public funds to promote such preferential treatment.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that it does not prohibit certain actions, such as bona fide qualifications based on sex, necessary actions to maintain federal program eligibility, or the provision of mental or physical health services. It also ensures that remedies for violations are consistent regardless of the injured party's race or ethnicity. The bill aims to restrict the promotion of race-based policies and practices in public institutions while allowing for certain exceptions related to compliance with federal laws and historical discussions of racial issues.
