The resolution SCR1006 seeks to establish regulations for public schools in Arizona regarding the treatment of students under 18 in relation to their gender identity. It prohibits school district or charter school employees from using pronouns or first names that do not correspond with a student's biological sex unless parental consent is obtained. Additionally, the resolution mandates that schools provide access to single-occupancy restrooms or changing facilities for individuals who cannot use multi-occupancy facilities designated for their sex. It also allows individuals to pursue legal action if they encounter someone of the opposite sex in designated areas, reinforcing the emphasis on parental rights as outlined in Arizona's Parents' Bill of Rights.

Furthermore, the resolution requires school governing boards to adopt policies to implement these provisions and outlines the process for requesting accommodations for restroom and changing facility access. It establishes a private cause of action for individuals whose requests for accommodations are denied, unless the school can prove undue hardship. The resolution also protects the rights of employees to refuse to use pronouns that conflict with their religious or moral beliefs. Key definitions are provided, and the resolution stipulates that if any part is found invalid, the remaining provisions will still be enforceable. The Secretary of State is responsible for submitting this proposition to voters at the next general election.
