SB 1321 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

public schools; patriotic organizations

SB 1321 requires Arizona school districts and charter schools to allow eligible patriotic youth organizations (like the Boy Scouts or Future Farmers of America) to recruit students during school hours. It permits these groups to speak in classrooms, distribute materials, and use school communication channels, provided they serve youth under 21, promote patriotism/civic education, and are listed in specific federal codes (e.g., 36 U.S.C. §§ 301, 309, 311). Schools must notify parents before any classroom presentations and allow opt-outs, but may not restrict eligible groups from using school facilities for recruitment outside school hours. The bill does not require schools to accommodate non-eligible organizations.
