The Judiciary Committee’s amended bill (as reported by Senator Rogers) was adopted on the floor.

Senator Rogers moved adoption of the Judiciary Committee amendment; the motion carried. Supporters called the bill “important” and said it clarifies responsibilities for notification when law enforcement temporarily detains minors. Senator Epstein, who rose in favor, said the bill “makes it even more clear by putting it into chapter 8 and thereby notifying law enforcement, ‘Hey, it's your job to make sure the parents get notified,’” while emphasizing the need to align school and law‑enforcement duties.

Senator Talley raised questions about students in group homes or tribal jurisdiction and whether the legislation would effectively notify guardians in complex custody situations; he asked colleagues to consider gaps that can leave children “fall[ing] through the cracks.”

The bill passed on third reading; the clerk recorded 27 ayes, 1 nay and 2 not voting on the final tally and the measure was transmitted to the House.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","05/28/2025 - Senate Floor Session","oneSentenceSummary","House Bill 27‑79, clarifying parental notification when juveniles are taken into temporary custody, passed the Arizona Senate May 28 after committee amendment; supporters said it strengthens parents’ right to notification, supporters urged coordination between law enforcement and schools.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature Arizona, Arizona","taxId",78572,"location","Arizona","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6222652,"Senate approves ban on certain foreign land purchases aimed at protecting military training sites; critics warn of xenophobic echoes",0,6275000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3593125-33af9e7b034b87219aacfead94784151&start=6275&end=6275","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3593125-33af9e7b034b87219aacfead94784151/thumbnail_6275000.jpg","/articles/6222652/Arizona/Senate-approves-ban-on-certain-foreign-land-purchases-aimed-at-protecting-military-training-sites-critics-warn-of-xenophobic-echoes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222652-d08d68bc976062e56282164a9512f41f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440124&Signature=E~qEcMvDYOvZ8RiwhokeMgMs~HS2W7SsI5sr8aJro-Yb14W6lZ76KENATQ4KmJKg640vpThL4RnUYG5SFNvZSZMrfnBVbGtt-mJymJVc2t4hBqtLgJRsHw87I8aZAPeIU3STclMqkPS0IOZKLifmdyUJ4snN8PtNzAKSGEyADoAlZNuP2n7ePIcAxbuphchjH~mFKQtiWK76hyHy8HtCxjb6Ti16UFCrqlI7bBYHpngbnyZY33ermSUTYNM~3eBonHt4NZXOD5vnonDbqsR4bgM37bZ5cbx4Cga~p2tQIC0tt7o~bWBTsbr80eVUvcDgimk1MvHkwoVHbuPooFjuzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arizona Senate on May 28 approved Senate Bill 11‑09, a measure that restricts certain land purchases by foreign entities and was described on the floor as aimed at protecting national‑security interests such as training at Luke Air Force Base.

Supporters said the bill is narrowly tailored to address threats posed by actors associated with the People's Republic of China. Senator Farnsworth and the majority leader framed the legislation as protecting vital training operations in Arizona. The majority leader told colleagues the People's Republic of China is “an enemy of The United States” and cited concerns about spying on Luke Air Force Base and F‑35 training operations.

Opponents warned the bill repeated a long, regrettable history of ‘‘alien land’’ laws that targeted Asian Americans. Senator Sundarization invoked that history and urged colleagues to reconsider: “May is still Asian American and Pacific Islander month. And yet here we are hearing a bill that has been very narrowly amended so that it specifically targets foreign nationals from China from owning land in the state. What a way to celebrate Asian American Month.”

Other senators who supported the bill cited alleged national‑security incidents in other states and argued the measure is necessary to prevent hostile foreign actors from acquiring land near critical military installations.

On final reading the Senate recorded 17 ayes, 11 nays and 2 not voting; the clerk reported the bill passed and was sent to the governor for signature.","Senate Bill 11‑09, which narrows prohibitions on some foreign national land ownership (targeting the People's Republic of China), passed the Arizona Senate May 28.

The bill changes the rules for governing‑board members when the State Board of Education (SBE) places a school district in receivership, deeming each governing‑board seat vacant 31 days after the SBE action unless the SBE waives that requirement under limited criteria.

Senator Warner explained a floor amendment that “specifies that each seat of a school district governing board is deemed vacant 31 days after the State Board of Education places the school district in receivership” and described the waiver process and evidentiary materials a member must submit. The amendment removed a requirement that the SBE investigate board members’ performance before granting a waiver and defined “supporting evidence” to include minutes, recordings and voting records.

Supporters framed the bill as a tool to address fiscal mismanagement in districts placed into receivership. Opponents, including Senator Bravo in an explanation of vote, said the measure could be punitive and asked whether it would help students; Bravo cited the Isaac School District receivership and said receivers had presented plans including school closures.

Senator Kuby also argued that forcing board resignations should be a matter for voters, not the Legislature, and warned that appointments made by county superintendents (a partisan office in Arizona) could politicize local school boards.

The Senate approved the bill on third reading; the clerk recorded the action as passed and the measure was transmitted to the House. Recorded floor votes on third reading showed the bill passed by voice and recorded tallies indicated the measure carried (clerk read final record as passed).","House Bill 26‑10, passed by the Arizona Senate May 28, deems school board seats vacant 31 days after the State Board of Education places a district in receivership unless a waiver is granted; supporters say it addresses mismanagement, critics call it overreach that disenfranchises voters.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6222660,"Arizona Senate passes bill on antisemitism in schools after heated debate over scope and penalties",1132,1569000,2701000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3593125-33af9e7b034b87219aacfead94784151&start=1569&end=2701","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3593125-33af9e7b034b87219aacfead94784151/thumbnail_1569000.jpg","/articles/6222660/Arizona/Arizona-Senate-passes-bill-on-antisemitism-in-schools-after-heated-debate-over-scope-and-penalties","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6222660-e8ca34b5ca2c6cff32c55f5ca27be7d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770440124&Signature=EWEVkTqIsulDhSdXoQh3Is7R~R6RrIBLd89~WAaAaW1jZnoJrxPAjK4gQemVpV1OBeD9QE1oWQea5H8Qz5vSA~Hgr-s7lLv-ePtf8Zg2Dq88SR-UsBB8X6w8WpOtnFHSbd2nkgO3RS-S8hT995pb64MAC672bmVSe1NCOQdyQMWOSUaROw7Cm0fkN-ZzCNubskmMnzJtMi0luLD6hhEhkvBgWTKPf2lhxW0Nl3~ZFhH7mOTsK0-uvmyojkzbr-OB2CIcJd0KHFkJWeYxg4uixX55SH5e-8WHy4h8YtmsT3vFgctoTCJyrwZMHV9rC03P-ZvFDjMUFEhatBszdtn9Zg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Arizona State Senate passed House Bill 28‑67 on May 28, adopting amendments that narrow the measure and limit its application to public schools after hours of floor debate and competing floor amendments.

Senators debated two high‑profile floor amendments. Senator Mitzi Epstein said of her amendment, “I urge a yes vote on my amendment,” arguing it would broaden protections against many kinds of unlawful discrimination, drop what she called “draconian punishments,” and extend coverage to private schools receiving public dollars. Senator J.D. Meznard described his floor amendment as clarifying process and scope: “we established a little more systematic, sort of hierarchy that you work through as part of that process,” and emphasized that the amendment focuses on conduct rather than protected speech.

The bill as amended adopts a definition of prohibited conduct based on the working definition commonly used to identify antisemitic acts (often referenced in testimony as the IHRA framework) and adds a structured complaint and remediation process, according to sponsors and amendment text explained on the floor. Proponents said the changes were intended to target discriminatory actions and not otherwise protected classroom speech; Senator Meznard told colleagues the amended language “makes clear that we are referring to actions, and not speech.”

Opponents argued the bill still risks constitutionally protected expression and would create heavy personal liability for educators. Senator Kuby called the measure “a content‑based restriction on speech” and warned it “violates the First Amendment,” and Senator Ortiz said the bill “is about censoring speech, chilling speech and it threatens to undo decades of work to build trust in public systems.” Several senators cited a recent federal case involving adoption of the IHRA definition at public universities as a warning the statute could be struck down in court.

Floor votes reflected the partisan split and intense debate. A procedural effort to include a broader amendment from Senator Epstein failed on the floor; the Meznard amendment was adopted. The Senate later passed the bill as amended on final reading by a roll call of 16 ayes, 12 nays and 2 not voting.

Supporters said the amended bill clarifies remedies and focuses on conduct with a stepwise complaint process, while critics said remaining provisions could be used to punish teachers and chill classroom discussion about Israel, Palestine and other international subjects. Several senators urged the authors to further refine definitions and procedural protections to avoid unintended consequences and litigation.

The bill will be transmitted to the House. If enacted, opponents predict legal challenges on First Amendment grounds; supporters said they intend the law to deter conduct that amounts to harassment or discrimination in schools.

Less critical items discussed in the same debate included procedural points about whether private schools receiving state funds should be covered; Senator Epstein argued that state funding via ESA/STO mechanisms justifies extending protections to those schools, while other senators argued public and private schools should be treated differently.","The Arizona Senate on May 28 passed House Bill 28‑67, a measure targeting antisemitic conduct in K‑12 schools; floor amendments narrowed the bill to conduct (not all speech) and confined it to public schools while opponents warned it will chill classroom discussion and invite litigation.","actionData","errors"]
