This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section, 15-160.05, to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically focusing on school safety requirements. The state board of education would be tasked with developing a list of recommended resources for age-appropriate education on the prevention and recognition of inappropriate forms of contact, including sexual contact. Additionally, the bill establishes a process for public schools and community members to recommend resources for inclusion on this list.

Furthermore, the Department of Education would be required to post the developed list on its website and ensure that at least one resource from the list is made available to public schools for each age group. Each public school would also be mandated to provide resources from this list to all students and their parents. The bill defines "age-appropriate" to mean resources that are suitable for children based on their cognitive, emotional, physical, and behavioral development.
