COCONINO COUNTY DEMOCRATS ARIZONA LEGISLATIVE ALERT
MAY 22, 2023
STATUS
The Arizona Legislature met last Monday, 5/15, to rush through a whole host of anti-culture and pro-gun bills. Many of these are now on the Governor’s desk. Then the Legislature adjourned for a month, reconvening on June 12. The “official” line is they are working on further budget compromises, but the truth is likely they just are going on vacation. In any case, the disaster of our Legislative session is not over. There will be more to come.
In the mean-time, we should urge Governor Hobbs to veto most of these terrible bills that have been submitted to her from the Legislature. For a comprehensive list of most of those bills see the CEBV newsletter from last week. Try this link: CEBV newsletter.
It is encouraged that you contact Governor Hobbs or her staff to oppose the following ESG bills:
SB 1500 – would prevent state and local governments from using ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) factors in considerations for investments.
SB 1694 – would prohibit local governments from having a diversity, equity and inclusion program (DEI) or entering into or renewing a contract with a company that participates in a DEI program.
SB 1611 – would prohibit a government entity from entering into ore renewing a contract with a company unless the contract includes the written certification that the company does NOT currently and will NOT implement an environment, social or governance standards policy.
