Transgender Rights: Along party lines, Arizona lawmakers approved a measure (HB 2438) that would erase the possibility of transgender Arizonans ever amending the sex shown on their birth certificates. However, the measure was immediately vetoed by Democratic Governor, Katie Hobbs.

Animal Cruelty Law: There is bi-partisan and law enforcement support for SB 1658 which provides a clearer definition of animal safety. This proposed law, which if passed would apply statewide, declares that animals must have “food that is appropriate for the species and that is fit for consumption, water that is suitable for drinking, as appropriate for the species” and access to shelter that is necessary and adequate. The Arizona Humane Society and other animal welfare organizations support the measure, and it is expected to be approved by the Governor.
