This concurrent resolution proposes a measure concerning public buildings in Arizona, specifically focusing on restroom accommodations. It mandates that public entities must provide reasonable accommodations for individuals who are unable or unwilling to use a multiple-occupancy restroom designated for their sex. To request such accommodations, individuals must submit a written request along with satisfactory evidence of their sex. Acceptable accommodations may include access to a single-occupancy restroom or the use of an employee restroom, but not access to restrooms designated for the opposite sex while those individuals are present.

Additionally, the resolution outlines the rights of individuals if their requests for accommodations are denied, allowing for a private cause of action against the public entity unless it can demonstrate that fulfilling the request would cause undue hardship. It also specifies conditions under which individuals may have a cause of action if they encounter someone of the opposite sex in a restroom designated for their sex. The resolution includes definitions for key terms and stipulates that any claims must be filed within two years of the alleged violation. If passed by voters, this measure will be enacted into law.
