This concurrent resolution proposes a measure concerning public schools in Arizona, which will be submitted to voters for approval. The measure includes amendments to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically adding sections that address reasonable accommodations for individuals who are unwilling or unable to use multioccupancy restrooms or changing facilities designated for their biological sex. It outlines the process for requesting accommodations, which may include access to single-occupancy facilities or employee restrooms, and establishes a private cause of action for individuals whose requests are denied, unless the school can demonstrate undue hardship.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that school employees cannot address students under eighteen by pronouns or names that differ from those aligned with their biological sex without parental permission. It mandates that school districts and charter schools adopt policies to implement these provisions while also protecting the rights of employees to refuse to use pronouns contrary to their religious or moral beliefs. The resolution emphasizes the importance of biological sex as determined at birth and includes a severability clause to ensure that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to voters at the next general election.
