Bills

No recent bills were found that require the collection of disaggregated racial or ethnic data. However, two bills relate to race and health equity.

In 2020, SCR 1040 was introduced, but not passed. It would have proclaimed racism as a public health emergency and resolved that “the Members of the Legislature support policies that improve health in communities of color and local, state and federal initiatives that advance social justice.”

In 2023, SB1305 was introduced and passed by the legislature but vetoed by the governor. The bill would have banned critical race theory in public schools. The bill received a lot of public attention; similar bills had been introduced in 2022. In 2021, a similar provision was written into the state budget, which the Arizona Supreme Court ruled to be unconstitutional. 

Other

The State of Black Arizona included data disaggregation in their 2021 volume of “Driving Local Investment in Black Arizonans” report.
