Strengthening Election Integrity by Prohibiting Paid Voter-Registration Collections.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits any person from paying or receiving money or anything of value based on the number of voter registrations or voter registration forms collected, completed, or submitted. The measure establishes a clear ban on incentive-based registration practices that can encourage improper or inaccurate submissions. By removing financial motivations tied to registration totals, the bill helps ensure voter registration efforts are conducted honestly and without manipulation.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #6 – Republicans Will Ensure Election Integrity: We will implement measures to secure our Elections, including Voter ID, highly sophisticated paper ballots, proof of Citizenship, and same day Voting.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Ensuring State Voter ID and Election Laws Apply to Federal Elections.
Against GOP
This bill establishes that the qualifications to vote in federal elections conducted in Arizona are the same as those prescribed under state law for state and local elections, including citizenship and residency requirements. The measure asserts the state's constitutional authority to set voter qualifications and ensures consistent standards across all elections held within Arizona. By reinforcing uniform eligibility rules, the bill prevents federal interference from creating separate or conflicting voter qualification systems.

Confirming the Legal Definition of "Sex" as One's Biological Sex at Birth.
Against GOP
This bill establishes uniform definitions for sex-based terms in Arizona statutes, administrative rules, regulations, and public policies, such as "male," "female," "man," "woman," and "sex," defining sex as a person's biological sex at birth and specifying that "sex" does not include gender identity. The measure clarifies how sex-based distinctions apply in areas such as nondiscrimination law, single-sex spaces, and the collection of vital statistics, while allowing accommodations consistent with state and federal law for individuals with differences in sex development. By bringing clarity and consistency to statutory language, the bill prevents agencies and courts from redefining core legal terms through policy or interpretation.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #5 – Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity: We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.

Strengthening Parental Rights by Ensuring Public Schools Provide Information on Immunization Exemptions to Parents.
Against GOP
This bill requires public schools to include information about available immunization exemptions in any communication to parents regarding school immunization requirements. The measure clarifies that schools must fully disclose both requirements and exemptions at enrollment and in related notices, ensuring parents receive complete and accurate information. By improving transparency, the bill ensures parents can make informed decisions regarding their children's healthcare and education without government obscuring lawful options.

Expanding Housing Availability by Reducing Regulations for Multifamily Redevelopment.
With GOP
This bill requires large municipalities to adopt objective standards that allow multifamily residential development or adaptive reuse of existing commercial, office, or mixed-use parcels without rezoning, special permits, or public hearings. The measure restricts local governments from selectively excluding parcels, limits discretionary review, caps municipal carve-outs, and sets uniform development standards while preserving specific exclusions for historic areas, airports, and military facilities. By reducing regulatory obstacles and discretionary zoning authority, the bill curbs local government control that restricts property owners from repurposing underused commercial property for housing.
Chapter 4 – Bring Back the American Dream and Make it Affordable Again – Section #1 – Housing Affordability: To help new home buyers, Republicans will reduce mortgage rates by slashing Inflation, open limited portions of Federal Lands to allow for new home construction, promote homeownership through Tax Incentives and support for first-time buyers, and cut unnecessary Regulations that raise housing costs.

Adding Transparency to Taxes by Requiring Advance Public Notice for New or Increased Municipal Taxes and Fees.
With GOP
This bill makes comprehensive updates to the Model City Tax Code to require cities and towns to provide advance notice, documentation, and public hearings before adopting new or increased municipal taxes, fees, or tax code options that affect businesses and taxpayers. The measure expands notice requirements by mandating direct notification to affected taxpayers, clarifies disclosure and confidentiality rules to support proper notice, and prevents municipalities from changing tax interpretations or applications without formal action and public input. By ensuring taxpayers receive clear notice and an opportunity to understand and respond to local tax changes, the bill limits surprise taxation and curbs the ability of local governments to impose or modify taxes without accountability.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #2 – Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent and No Tax on Tips: Republicans will make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred Economic Growth for all Americans. We will eliminate Taxes on Tips for millions of Restaurant and Hospitality Workers, and pursue additional Tax Cuts.

Promoting Self-Sufficiency by Requiring Employment and Training Program Participation for SNAP Recipients Under Age 60.
Against GOP
This bill requires able-bodied adults under age 60 who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to participate in a mandatory employment or training program - unless exempted (for example, due to caring for a young child, being enrolled at least half-time in school, working at least 30 hours/week, participating in a substance-abuse treatment program, or other statutory exceptions). By tying public assistance to employment and training for those capable of working, the bill reinforces the expectation that government support should be temporary and connected to self-sufficiency.

Strengthening Parental Rights by Requiring Access to Medical Records.
Against GOP
This bill strengthens parental rights by requiring healthcare providers to give parents separate, equal access to a minor child's electronic health portal or any other healthcare delivery platform. It clarifies and expands parental rights to request, access, and review all written and electronic medical records of a minor child, including for certain services that do not require parental consent. By ensuring parents are not excluded from critical health information about their children, the bill restores transparency and limits institutional interference in family decision-making.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Removing Inactive Voters from the Early-Voting List.
Against GOP
This bill requires county election officials to remove a voter from the active early voting list when election notices are returned as undeliverable and the voter cannot be contacted to confirm a valid address. The measure clarifies procedures for updating voter records, prevents repeated mailing of ballots to invalid addresses, and requires voters to submit a new request to rejoin the list if removed. By ensuring early ballots are sent only to valid, confirmed addresses, the bill strengthens the integrity of the early voting system and reduces waste and misuse of election materials.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #6 – Republicans Will Ensure Election Integrity: We will implement measures to secure our Elections, including Voter ID, highly sophisticated paper ballots, proof of Citizenship, and same day Voting.

Increasing School Board Transparency and Accountability by Strengthening Public Meeting Requirements.
Against GOP
This bill requires school district governing boards and their subcommittees to hold meetings at public facilities, provide online access to meeting materials and minutes, and, for larger districts, livestream and archive governing board meetings. The measure also increases transparency around out-of-state travel by requiring public approval, disclosure of costs, participants, and the stated benefit to the district before travel occurs. By strengthening public access to information and oversight of decision-making, the bill ensures taxpayers and parents can more easily monitor how school districts conduct business and spend public funds.
Chapter 7 – Cultivate Great K-12 Schools Leading to Great Jobs and Great Lives for Young People – Section #1 – Great Principals and Great Teachers: Republicans will support schools that focus on Excellence and Parental Rights.

Protecting Children from Inappropriate Advertising in Child-Directed Apps.
Against GOP
This bill requires any digital application platform that markets apps to children age 11 or younger to block advertisements containing violence, explicit language, sexual content, or promotion of drugs or alcohol. It mandates that such "child-directed" applications implement monitoring systems to prevent mature or inappropriate ads. Providers that fail to comply are subject to civil penalties up to $100,000 per violation, enforceable by the Attorney General. This bill protects against minors being exposed to inappropriate content.

Protecting Religious Liberties by Prohibiting Vaccine-Status as a Sole Barrier to Foster-Care Placement.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits the Department of Child Safety from refusing to place a child in a licensed foster home or qualified kinship foster care home based solely on the vaccination status of the child or other children in the household. The measure preserves existing health and safety standards while ensuring placement decisions are not driven by a single medical factor unrelated to a caregiver's ability to provide a safe and stable home. By removing an inflexible administrative barrier, the bill helps keep children with qualified families and reduces unnecessary government interference in placement decisions.

Strengthening Public Safety by Prohibiting Drugs in Homeless Shelters and Service Centers.
Against GOP
This bill creates drug-free homeless service zones by increasing penalties for the sale or transfer of dangerous or narcotic drugs within and around facilities that provide shelter, services, or supportive housing to homeless individuals. The measure also requires service providers receiving public funds to adopt and enforce formal drug-free policies and post clear notice, while exempting lawful prescription drug use. By targeting drug trafficking and use in spaces intended to provide safety and stability, the bill helps reduce criminal activity and protects vulnerable individuals without expanding regulatory authority beyond clearly defined zones.
Chapter 8 – Bring Common Sense to Government and Renew the Pillars of American Civilization – Section #2 – Rebuild Our Cities and Restore Law and Order: Republicans will restore safety in our neighborhoods by replenishing Police Departments, restoring Common Sense Policing, and protecting Officers from frivolous lawsuits.

Prohibiting Sex Designation Changes on Birth Certificates Based on Gender Transition.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits amending a birth certificate to change the sex designation to reflect a gender transition, sex reassignment surgery, or change in gender identity. It allows for limited amendments to the sex field to cases where the original information was "factually inaccurate at the time of recordation" (i.e., clerical errors or mistakes present at birth registration), but requires applicants to prove factual inaccuracy beyond a reasonable doubt for non-clerical changes (a higher evidentiary standard).
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #5 – Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity: We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.

Reducing Government Dependency by Aligning Unemployment Benefits with Job Market Conditions.
Against GOP
This bill reduces the maximum number of weeks an individual may receive unemployment benefits when unemployment rates are lower and scales benefit length based on current economic conditions. The measure replaces a fixed, extended benefit model with a tiered approach that shortens benefit duration during periods of low unemployment while preserving longer benefits when joblessness is higher. By limiting prolonged unemployment benefits during strong labor markets, the bill encourages faster reentry into the workforce and reduces unnecessary strain on the unemployment insurance system.

Strengthening Truth-in-Taxation Protections and Voter Transparency for Local Tax Increases.
Against GOP
This bill makes extensive updates to Arizona's truth-in-taxation laws by strengthening notice, disclosure, and voter information requirements for school district budgets, bond elections, overrides, and other local tax increases. The measure standardizes clearer ballot language, expands required taxpayer impact disclosures, updates assessed value examples, and reinforces public hearing and roll call vote requirements across multiple taxing jurisdictions. For example, informational pamphlets and notices are required to show tax impacts for both a $100,000 home value and a $400,000 home value (and for larger commercial-property valuations, where relevant). By ensuring taxpayers receive clear, consistent, and detailed information before voting on tax increases or government debt, the bill improves transparency and accountability in how local governments raise and spend public funds.
Chapter 3 – Build the Greatest Economy in History – Section #2 – Make Trump Tax Cuts Permanent and No Tax on Tips: Republicans will make permanent the provisions of the Trump Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that doubled the standard deduction, expanded the Child Tax Credit, and spurred Economic Growth for all Americans.

Protecting Businesses by Requiring Notice and Opportunity to Cure Regulatory Compliance Deficiencies.
Against GOP
This bill amends Arizona's administrative procedure laws to expand and clarify the rights of regulated individuals and businesses during state inspections, audits, and investigations. The measure requires agencies to provide written notice of rights, disclose inspection authority, allow representation, issue timely inspection reports, and give regulated parties an opportunity to correct alleged deficiencies before enforcement action is taken, except in limited circumstances. By reinforcing notice, transparency, and correction opportunities, the bill limits arbitrary enforcement and ensures agencies do not use regulatory power in a coercive or punitive manner.

Requiring Accurate Fetal-Development Instruction in School Health Curricula.
Against GOP
This bill requires the State Board of Education to include instruction on fetal development in health education courses for students in grades seven and eight, with optional age-appropriate instruction in other grades. The measure specifies that instruction include information on human reproduction, pregnancy, infertility, and the growth and development of an unborn child during each trimester, while requiring parental notice and allowing parents to opt their child out. By ensuring factual, age-appropriate information is presented with full parental awareness and choice, the bill promotes transparency in curriculum without mandating student participation.
Chapter 7 – Cultivate Great K-12 Schools Leading to Great Jobs and Great Lives for Young People – Section #6 – Knowledge and Skills, Not CRT and Gender Indoctrination: Republicans will ensure children are taught fundamentals like Reading, History, Science, and Math, not Leftwing propaganda.

Against GOP
This bill provides up to $500 million (with the maximum amount increased by 3% annually) to the Maricopa County Stadium District for repairs, maintenance, and improvements to Chase Field in Phoenix, where the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball play. The bill directs 82% of income taxes from professional baseball players to be used for this purpose, as well as the transaction privilege taxes for sales at the stadium and adjacent buildings. The bill provides a long-term, preferential financial benefit to a politically favored project and shifts risk from private interests to taxpayers.

Streamlining Energy Development by Reducing Regulatory Barriers for Small Modular Nuclear Reactors.
Against GOP
This bill allows utilities to construct small modular nuclear reactors that are co-located with large industrial energy users without obtaining a new certificate of environmental compatibility and limits local zoning restrictions in certain counties. The measure establishes clear conditions under which these reactors may be sited, directs the Corporation Commission to adopt implementing rules, and maintains compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. By reducing duplicative regulatory hurdles, the bill encourages private investment in reliable energy infrastructure without expanding government control or subsidies.
Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation, and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #1 – Unleash American Energy: Under President Trump, the U.S. became the Number One Producer of Oil and Natural Gas in the World – and we will soon be again by lifting restrictions on American Energy Production and terminating the Socialist Green New Deal.

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting Government-Funded DEI Programs and Preferential Treatment in Public Institutions.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits state agencies, cities, counties, public universities, and community colleges from establishing or maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices, requiring DEI statements, mandating DEI training, or granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The measure applies these restrictions across multiple levels of government while preserving compliance with state and federal nondiscrimination laws and allowing neutral academic instruction and lawful data collection. By preventing government entities from adopting policies that mandate ideological conformity or unequal treatment, the bill reinforces equal protection and limits the use of public power to advance divisive frameworks.
Chapter 9 – Government Of, By, and For the People – Section #1 – Republicans Will Stop Woke and Weaponized Government: We will hold accountable those who have misused the power of Government to unjustly prosecute their Political Opponents.

This bill prohibits individuals from establishing or occupying encampments on the campuses of public universities and community colleges and requires school administrators to remove unlawful encampments and pursue enforcement when individuals refuse to comply. The measure also clarifies that encampments are not protected expressive activity and holds individuals financially responsible for damage and cleanup costs associated with unlawful occupation of campus property. The bill ensures that public property is not commandeered or damaged under the guise of expression and that institutions can maintain order without expanding government control over lawful speech.

Increasing Transparency in School Property Taxes by Requiring Clear Disclosure of State and Local Tax Rates.
Against GOP
This bill requires county treasurers to clearly display, on each property tax bill and statement, both the state-determined qualifying tax rate for a school district and the higher tax rate actually set and levied by the school district. The measure standardizes the language used to present this information so taxpayers can easily distinguish between the minimum rate established by state law and the rate chosen by local school officials. By clearly separating state requirements from local decisions, the bill ensures property owners are better informed about who is responsible for higher school tax burdens.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Increasing Early-Ballot Verification and Tabulation Standards.

This bill requires voters to present valid identification when dropping off early ballots after 7:00 p.m. on the Friday before election day. The measure tightens rules governing late early ballot returns, clarifies who may handle and deliver ballots during this period, and strengthens chain-of-custody and verification procedures for ballots returned close to election day. The bill addresses heightened risk during the final days of voting by ensuring late ballots are returned by authorized individuals under clear, enforceable standards.

Requiring Parental Consent for Schools to Use a Student's "Preferred Pronoun" that is Inconsistent with their Biological Sex.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits public school and charter school employees from addressing or referring to a minor student by a name or pronoun that does not align with the student's biological sex unless the school receives written parental permission. The measure also protects school employees and contractors from being compelled to use pronouns that conflict with their sincerely held religious or moral convictions and requires schools to adopt policies implementing these protections. By reinforcing parental involvement and preventing compelled speech, the bill limits institutional overreach into family decisions and personal conscience.

Combatting "Taxation through Citation" by Prohibiting Photo-Enforcement Systems.
Against GOP
This bill repeals existing statutes authorizing photo enforcement systems and prohibits state and local governments from using cameras or automated systems to identify traffic violations, including speeding and failure to obey traffic control devices. The measure restores traffic enforcement authority exclusively to sworn law enforcement officers and eliminates the use of private, for-profit vendors in issuing citations. By removing automated enforcement schemes, the bill prevents revenue-driven policing practices and protects due process and accountability in traffic enforcement.

Expanding Regulatory Burdens on Manufacturers by Prohibiting the Sale of Animal-Tested Cosmetics.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits manufacturers from selling cosmetics in Arizona if the product or its ingredients were developed or manufactured using animal testing after December 31, 2025, subject to narrow statutory exceptions. The measure establishes new definitions, enforcement authority, civil penalties, and statewide preemption, effectively imposing Arizona-specific standards on cosmetic development and supply chains that extend beyond existing federal regulation. The bill increases regulatory burdens on manufacturers and suppliers, limits market access for lawful products, and further interferes in the private marketplace.
Chapter 1 – Defeat Inflation and Quickly Bring Down All Prices – Section #3 – Cut Costly and Burdensome Regulations: Republicans will reinstate President Trump's Deregulation Policies, which saved Americans $11,000 per household, and end Democrats’ regulatory onslaught that disproportionately harms low- and middle-income households.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Prohibiting Public Resources from Being Used to Influence Elections.
Against GOP
This bill strengthens prohibitions on the use of public resources by cities, counties, school districts, charter schools, special taxing districts, and state agencies to influence the outcome of elections. The measure expands the definition of "influencing the outcomes of elections" to include presenting, in any manner that is not impartial or neutral, information related to an election or the subject of an election contemplated within a jurisdiction, in addition to traditional advocacy for or against candidates or ballot measures. By clarifying and broadening what constitutes improper electioneering, the bill reinforces clear boundaries between government operations and political advocacy and protects taxpayers from having public resources used to shape electoral outcomes.

It requires the Arizona Department of Economic Security to regularly cross-check SNAP recipients against data such as lottery or gambling winnings, corrections records, employment, income, and out-of-state benefit card use. It also mandates public reporting of aggregate data on investigations, improper payments, fraud referrals, recovered funds, and amounts spent on out-of-state transactions. By ensuring benefits are limited to eligible recipients and misuse is identified and addressed, the bill protects limited public resources and reinforces program integrity.

Strengthening National Security by Prohibiting Foreign Adversary Nations and Agents from Acquiring Arizona Real Property.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits foreign adversary nations and their agents from purchasing, owning, or acquiring a substantial interest in real property in Arizona, while providing narrowly tailored exceptions for temporary ownership through inheritance or debt collection with mandatory divestment. The measure assigns enforcement to the Attorney General, requires referrals to appropriate federal authorities when warranted, and includes safeguards to ensure enforcement is not based on race or national origin. By preventing hostile foreign governments, particularly China, and their controlled entities from acquiring strategic land assets, the bill protects critical infrastructure, agricultural resources, and national security interests without imposing broad restrictions on lawful private ownership.

Fueling Out-of-Control Spending Through $3.5 Million for a Desert Agriculture Center at the University of Arizona.

This bill provides $3.5 million to the University of Arizona for the Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture. According to the center's website, its purpose is "bringing scientific research and industry together to find solutions that bring value to stakeholders by addressing "on-the-ground" needs of Desert Ag production." The bill expands recurring state expenditures and directs funds to a specific institution rather than prioritizing core statewide needs or fiscal restraint.

Preventing Government Overreach by Banning Mileage-Based Taxes, Tracking, and Travel-Reduction Mandates.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits the state and local governments from establishing vehicle miles traveled reduction goals, tracking individual vehicle mileage through odometers, cameras, license plate data, or third-party sources, or imposing any mileage-based taxes or fees on individual drivers. The measure applies these prohibitions broadly to transportation and land use planning and clearly bars per-mile charges while allowing narrow exceptions for interstate commercial vehicle agreements and government-owned vehicles. By blocking mileage tracking and per-mile taxation, the bill prevents the expansion of surveillance-based transportation policy and protects drivers from new forms of taxation tied to personal movement.

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Considerations in State and Local Investments.
Against GOP
This requires state investments by the Treasurer or fiduciaries to be made solely in the interest of the beneficiary based on pecuniary (financial) factors that materially affect risk-adjusted returns. It explicitly prohibits consideration of non-pecuniary factors like environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria unless they directly impact financial performance. ESG is woke capitalism that forces progressive priorities, such as climate activism, diversity quotas, and gun control, on corporations.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Requiring ID for Early Ballot Drop-offs and Increasing Ballot Security.
Against GOP
This bill requires voters who deliver voted early ballots at polling places, voting centers, or emergency voting centers to present identification and attest to their eligibility to return the ballot. The measure also clarifies identification standards for voters and establishes criminal penalties for knowing violations of the ballot delivery requirements. By ensuring accountability in the early ballot return process, the bill reinforces confidence that ballots are handled lawfully and by authorized individuals.

Safeguarding Elections by Requiring Paper Ballots to Meet Strict Security Standards.
Against GOP
This bill requires that ballot paper vendors meet recognized international certification standards and incorporate multiple anti-fraud security features directly into paper ballots. The measure specifies a menu of advanced safeguards, such as controlled watermarks, holographic elements, secure inks, and tracking features, to deter counterfeiting and ballot tampering. By establishing clear, uniform standards for ballot security, the bill enhances confidence in the integrity of paper ballots without expanding government oversight of voters.

Expanding Medicaid to Cover Continuous Glucose Monitors.
Against GOP
This bill requires the state Medicaid administration to mandate coverage of continuous glucose monitors through both pharmacy and durable medical equipment benefits and directs providers to follow updated coverage criteria aligned with current standards of care. The measure removes flexibility from the state's managed care system by prescribing how coverage decisions must be structured and requiring public posting of coverage criteria.

Protecting Second Amendment Rights by Prohibiting Registries of Private Firearms and Firearm Owners.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits government entities from maintaining registries of privately owned firearms or their owners, except as required for legitimate criminal investigations. By preventing the creation of government registries of firearm owners, the bill helps protect against government surveillance. Our nation's founding fathers understood that the right to keep and bear arms is a crucial individual liberty and protects the citizenry against a tyrannical government.

Expanding Access to Healthcare by Allowing Pharmacists to Test and Treat Common Conditions.
Against GOP
This bill authorizes pharmacists, under a statewide protocol approved by the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy, to independently order, perform, and interpret certain federally authorized and waived diagnostic tests and to initiate treatment for specific health conditions, including influenza, strep throat, and COVID-related illnesses. The measure establishes detailed requirements for training, patient screening, informed consent, recordkeeping, referrals, and notification of primary care providers, while prohibiting opioid prescribing and requiring parental consent for minors. By allowing pharmacists to provide limited testing and treatment for common conditions within a structured framework, the bill expands access to timely care, particularly in underserved areas, and reduces unnecessary barriers that delay treatment.
Chapter 4 – Bring Back the American Dream and Make it Affordable Again for Families, Young People, and Everyone – Section #3 – Affordable Healthcare: Healthcare and prescription drug costs are out of control.

Expanding Housing Availability by Limiting Municipal Code Restrictions on Single-Family Homes.
With GOP
This bill prohibits municipalities with more than 70,000 residents from requiring minimum lot sizes over 3,000 square feet (for qualifying new developments), from mandating aesthetic or design requirements, shared-amenity mandates (such as homeowners' associations), or unnecessary setbacks, fences, or private-street requirements for single-family homes. The bill also protects the homeowner's right to choose the features, structure, floor plan, and design of their home. The measure applies only to new developments and expressly preserves building codes, fire codes, and public health and safety regulations. By curbing highly prescriptive local planning rules that drive up housing costs and restrict supply, the bill addresses regulatory barriers that drive up housing costs and reduce availability.

Expanding Government Overreach and Infringing Individual Liberties by Raising the Tobacco and Vaping Age to 21.
Against GOP
This bill increases the minimum age to purchase tobacco products, including vaping devices, from 18 to 21. The bill includes an exception for military and National Guard members who are at least 18 years old. While framed as a public health policy, the bill expands government authority over personal lifestyle choices by restricting the ability of legal adults to make decisions about lawful products.

Combatting Local Government Overreach by Restricting Government Recycling Mandates on Residents.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits cities, towns, counties, and other political subdivisions from recommending or requiring residents to place materials in recycling bins unless those materials are actively being recycled into new products. The measure defines "actively recycled" and applies the standard uniformly across local recycling programs, while preserving the ability of local governments to offer recycling opportunities. By barring governments from directing residents to recycle materials that are not actually recycled, the bill reduces wasteful practices and prevents misleading instructions that undermine public trust.

Expanding Medicaid to Also Include Comprehensive Dental Benefits.
Against GOP
This bill amends Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System statutes to replace emergency-only adult dental services with comprehensive dental coverage for individuals age twenty-one and older, capped at $1,000 per member annually. The measure converts a limited, optional benefit into an ongoing entitlement, expanding the scope of covered Medicaid services without accompanying reforms to address cost growth, program sustainability, or long-term funding impacts. The bill increases government-managed healthcare obligations and commits additional taxpayer resources within an already strained entitlement program.

Expanding the Role of Government in Medical Research Through a $10 Million State Appropriation for Drug Research.

This bill appropriates $10,000,000 from the state general fund in FY 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Health Services to award research grants for clinical trials involving midomafetamine as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The measure directs funding to a narrow set of qualifying entities that have completed late-stage trials and are participating in a federal drug review process and exempts the appropriation from standard lapsing requirements. The bill commits significant taxpayer resources to a specific experimental treatment and research effort rather than relying on private, philanthropic, or federal funding pathways.

Strengthening Individual Liberties by Reducing Restrictions on Alcohol Service on Watercraft.
Against GOP
This bill modifies Arizona's government liquor license statute to expand where and how alcohol may be served on lakes controlled by cities and towns. It authorizes a licensed premises to include a dock and up to thirty watercraft and revises operational rules for onboard alcohol service, including expanded eligibility for what qualifies as a "boat." The bill also updates service-hour restrictions and maintains requirements related to food service, staffing, training, and liability. By refining existing rules rather than creating new regulatory structures, the bill allows local entities to manage licensed operations more effectively without expanding state control.

Promoting Fiscal Responsibility by Eliminating Agency Positions Vacant for More than 150 Days.
Against GOP
This bill requires state budget units to report full-time equivalent positions that have remained vacant for at least 150 days and mandates the elimination of those long-vacant positions each fiscal year, with corresponding adjustments to authorized staffing levels. Certain agencies are exempt from the requirement, such as Department of Public Safety, Board of Regents, and public universities. By requiring the removal of dormant positions, the bill promotes leaner government operations and ensures staffing authorizations more accurately reflect actual workforce needs.

Ensuring Government Hires Employees Based on Merit, not DEI.
Against GOP
This bill prohibits the state and its political subdivisions from adopting hiring policies or practices that consider race, ethnicity, sex, or national origin, instead mandating that all public employees be hired strictly based on merit - defined as qualifications, skills, experience, and ability to perform the job. By ensuring public employment decisions are based on qualifications and ability rather than identity-based preferences, the bill promotes fairness and limits government intrusion into employment decisions.

Protecting Minors from Gender Mutilation by Holding Providers Accountable for Performing Procedures.
Against GOP
This bill establishes strict civil liability for health care professionals who perform gender transition procedures on minors by making them financially responsible for the costs of subsequent detransition procedures for up to 25 years, and any related physical, psychological, or emotional harm. It allows a person who detransitions before age 26 - or their legal guardian - to bring a civil action. The bill prohibits contractual waivers of liability, ensuring that providers remain fully accountable for outcomes regardless of any prior agreement. By ensuring providers remain accountable for long-term consequences of irreversible medical interventions performed on minors, the bill places responsibility on those making and profiting from these decisions rather than shifting costs to families or taxpayers.
Chapter 9 – Government of, By and For the People – Section #5 – Republicans Will End Left-wing Gender Insanity: We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.

For those arrested for certain serious crimes, including burglary, theft, assault on law-enforcement officers, or offenses resulting in death or serious injury, the bill also mandates providing a photograph, physical descriptors, and granting ICE access for interviews. By ensuring timely information sharing for individuals arrested for serious crimes, the bill reinforces coordination between jurisdictions and prevents local policies from obstructing lawful immigration enforcement.

Adding Transparency in Government Contracting by Repealing Procurement Exemptions and Requiring Disclosure of Political Donations.
Against GOP
This bill makes changes to state procurement and grant administration by strengthening document retention requirements, prohibiting the destruction of evaluation notes. It requires companies seeking state contracts or grants to disclose certain prior donations connected to the Governor or related political entities. The measure applies these disclosure and recordkeeping requirements across procurement and grant processes to ensure decisions are documented and subject to public scrutiny. By increasing transparency around contracting decisions and potential conflicts of interest, the bill reinforces ethical standards and deters favoritism in the use of public funds.

Against GOP
This bill allows private school students who reside within a public school's jurisdiction to try out for and participate in interscholastic activities offered by that public school if the private school does not offer the same activity. The measure requires public schools to apply the same eligibility, conduct, and participation standards to private school students, while limiting participation fees to a student's pro rata share of program costs. By eliminating barriers that discourage parents from choosing private school for their children, the bill expands school choice.
