If this bill were to become law, it would update current statutes by adding new provisions that emphasize the protection and promotion of parents' rights and the Parents' Bill of Rights within the context of Arizona's public policy on domestic relations. Specifically, it would insert language that states it is in a child's best interest to have equal access to both co-parents, thereby reinforcing the importance of co-parenting in the upbringing of children. Additionally, the bill would amend the existing public policy statement to include these new priorities, ensuring that parents' rights are recognized and upheld in legal considerations.

The bill would also remove outdated language that currently separates the promotion of strong families from the broader context of parents' rights. By doing so, it aims to create a more cohesive legal framework that aligns with the modern understanding of family dynamics and parental involvement. Overall, the proposed changes would enhance the legal recognition of parents' roles and responsibilities while prioritizing the best interests of children in domestic relations matters.
