The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section, 15-120.08, to Title 15, Chapter 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This new section mandates that the governing body of a public school or public educational institution must allow any member of the governing body to pray during meetings upon request. This insertion aims to formalize the right to prayer within the context of public educational meetings.

Additionally, the bill specifies the governing bodies for various educational institutions, including the school district governing board for school districts, the governing body for charter schools, the governing board for career technical education districts, the board of directors for the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, the governing board for community college districts, and the Arizona Board of Regents for public universities. These clarifications serve to delineate which entities are subject to the new prayer provision.
