educational facilities; abortion; prohibited activities
HB 2060 prohibits abortions at public educational facilities in Arizona except when necessary to save a woman's life. It applies to all public schools, colleges, universities (including those under the Arizona Board of Regents), and their employees acting in their official capacity. The bill explicitly bans institutions from performing abortions or encouraging/facilitating them, with exceptions only for life-saving medical emergencies as defined in existing law. This affects all public educational institutions and their staff, restricting abortion access on campus grounds. The legislation amends Arizona Revised Statutes sections 15-115.01 and 15-1630 to enforce these restrictions.

MODERATE
The bill was reformatted and renumbered for the official legislative record, but the core policy text regarding abortion prohibitions in schools remained substantively identical. The only minor substantive addition is a new section (15-115.02) that explicitly bans abortion providers from providing health education or distributing materials in public schools and allows the state to withhold funding if a school fails to comply.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding prohibited activities and definitions remained unchanged; however, a new scope was added prohibiting abortion providers from offering health education or materials in public schools.
REQUIREMENT
Added a new section prohibiting abortion providers or clinics from providing health education instruction, curricula, or distributing materials in public schools.
FISCAL
Added a mechanism allowing the Superintendent of Public Instruction to withhold state aid from schools that fail to comply with the new prohibition on abortion provider involvement in health education.
TECHNICAL
Changed the bill header from 'Introduced Version' to 'House Engrossed Version' and updated the title page format to match official legislative standards.
Corrected minor formatting and capitalization inconsistencies in the statutory text (e.g., standardizing 'public educational institution' and fixing line breaks) without altering the legal meaning.
