The resolution proposes a measure to amend Arizona's parental rights laws, which will be submitted to voters for approval. It emphasizes that all parental rights concerning the upbringing, education, health care, and moral or religious training of minor children are exclusively reserved to parents, free from interference by the state or any governmental entities. The measure outlines specific rights for parents, including access to their child's educational and medical records, the right to direct their child's education and upbringing, and the right to consent to various actions involving their child, such as biometric scans and genetic testing.

Additionally, the resolution establishes that any governmental interference with parental rights must meet a high burden of proof, demonstrating that such actions are essential to a compelling government interest and that no less restrictive means are available. It also allows parents to take legal action against governmental entities or officials if their rights are violated. The Secretary of State is tasked with submitting this proposition to voters at the next general election, ensuring that the measure becomes law only if approved by the electorate and proclaimed by the Governor.
