Lawmaker Position

HB 2007Senate 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Prohibiting Paid Voter-Registration Collections.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits any person from paying or receiving money or anything of value based on the number of voter registrations or voter registration forms collected, completed, or submitted. The measure establishes a clear ban on incentive-based registration practices that can encourage improper or inaccurate submissions. By removing financial motivations tied to registration totals, the bill helps ensure voter registration efforts are conducted honestly and without manipulation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.
HB 2060Senate 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Ensuring State Voter ID and Election Laws Apply to Federal Elections.

Against CEA
This bill establishes that the qualifications to vote in federal elections conducted in Arizona are the same as those prescribed under state law for state and local elections, including citizenship and residency requirements. The measure asserts the state's constitutional authority to set voter qualifications and ensures consistent standards across all elections held within Arizona. By reinforcing uniform eligibility rules, the bill prevents federal interference from creating separate or conflicting voter qualification systems.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.

First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.
HB 2062Senate 20251x

Confirming the Legal Definition of "Sex" as One's Biological Sex at Birth.

Against CEA
This bill establishes uniform definitions for sex-based terms in Arizona statutes, administrative rules, regulations, and public policies, such as "male," "female," "man," "woman," and "sex," defining sex as a person's biological sex at birth and specifying that "sex" does not include gender identity. The measure clarifies how sex-based distinctions apply in areas such as nondiscrimination law, single-sex spaces, and the collection of vital statistics, while allowing accommodations consistent with state and federal law for individuals with differences in sex development. By bringing clarity and consistency to statutory language, the bill prevents agencies and courts from redefining core legal terms through policy or interpretation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, God created humanity male and female, establishing a clear and unchanging design rooted in truth and human dignity. Government should respect this biological and biblical reality and refrain from compelling policies or speech that deny God’s created order.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 2063Senate 20251x

Strengthening Parental Rights by Ensuring Public Schools Provide Information on Immunization Exemptions to Parents.

Against CEA
This bill requires public schools to include information about available immunization exemptions in any communication to parents regarding school immunization requirements. The measure clarifies that schools must fully disclose both requirements and exemptions at enrollment and in related notices, ensuring parents receive complete and accurate information. By improving transparency, the bill ensures parents can make informed decisions regarding their children's healthcare and education without government obscuring lawful options.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted with the primary responsibility to guide and care for their children, and conscience rights must be respected. Upholding parental authority affirms both family integrity and religious freedom.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.
HB 2110Senate 20251x

Expanding Housing Availability by Reducing Regulations for Multifamily Redevelopment.

With CEA
This bill requires large municipalities to adopt objective standards that allow multifamily residential development or adaptive reuse of existing commercial, office, or mixed-use parcels without rezoning, special permits, or public hearings. The measure restricts local governments from selectively excluding parcels, limits discretionary review, caps municipal carve-outs, and sets uniform development standards while preserving specific exclusions for historic areas, airports, and military facilities. By reducing regulatory obstacles and discretionary zoning authority, the bill curbs local government control that restricts property owners from repurposing underused commercial property for housing.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects private property and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.
HB 2119Senate 20251x

Adding Transparency to Taxes by Requiring Advance Public Notice for New or Increased Municipal Taxes and Fees.

With CEA
This bill makes comprehensive updates to the Model City Tax Code to require cities and towns to provide advance notice, documentation, and public hearings before adopting new or increased municipal taxes, fees, or tax code options that affect businesses and taxpayers. The measure expands notice requirements by mandating direct notification to affected taxpayers, clarifies disclosure and confidentiality rules to support proper notice, and prevents municipalities from changing tax interpretations or applications without formal action and public input. By ensuring taxpayers receive clear notice and an opportunity to understand and respond to local tax changes, the bill limits surprise taxation and curbs the ability of local governments to impose or modify taxes without accountability.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families are better stewards of their resources than the state. Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their income when revenues are strong promotes responsibility, generosity, and respect for the proper limits of government.
Luke 16:10-11 – "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?"
Leadership Insight
Jesus connects economic stewardship to spiritual trustworthiness. Economic freedom is built on this principle: individuals who manage small resources faithfully should be trusted with more - not have government confiscate their increase through taxation or redistribute their success. When government punishes productive stewardship through progressive taxation, it contradicts Christ's teaching that faithful management of "very little" qualifies you for "much." Economic freedom rewards faithful stewardship.
HB 2126Senate 20251x

Strengthening Parental Rights by Requiring Access to Medical Records.

Against CEA
This bill strengthens parental rights by requiring healthcare providers to give parents separate, equal access to a minor child's electronic health portal or any other healthcare delivery platform. It clarifies and expands parental rights to request, access, and review all written and electronic medical records of a minor child, including for certain services that do not require parental consent. By ensuring parents are not excluded from critical health information about their children, the bill restores transparency and limits institutional interference in family decision-making.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted by God with the responsibility to raise and guide their children. Affirming parental rights in the constitution honors the family as a foundational institution and limits government interference in God-given parental authority.
3 John 1:4 – "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth."
Leadership Insight
Health is inseparable from truth. A culture that denies moral truth forfeits spiritual wellness. God’s Word sustains both conscience and community.
HB 2169Senate 20251x

Increasing School Board Transparency and Accountability by Strengthening Public Meeting Requirements.

Against CEA
This bill requires school district governing boards and their subcommittees to hold meetings at public facilities, provide online access to meeting materials and minutes, and, for larger districts, livestream and archive governing board meetings. The measure also increases transparency around out-of-state travel by requiring public approval, disclosure of costs, participants, and the stated benefit to the district before travel occurs. By strengthening public access to information and oversight of decision-making, the bill ensures taxpayers and parents can more easily monitor how school districts conduct business and spend public funds.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, no single authority should exercise unchecked power over the people. This legislation promotes accountability and humility in governance by ensuring emergency powers are balanced and restrained in a manner consistent with biblical principles of stewardship and justice.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Leadership Insight
When truth is silenced, darkness prevails. The apostles refused to edit their message for cultural comfort. Faithful leaders must speak what God says, even when it costs influence.
HB 2195Senate 20252x

Protecting Children from Inappropriate Advertising in Child-Directed Apps.

Against CEA
This bill requires any digital application platform that markets apps to children age 11 or younger to block advertisements containing violence, explicit language, sexual content, or promotion of drugs or alcohol. It mandates that such "child-directed" applications implement monitoring systems to prevent mature or inappropriate ads. Providers that fail to comply are subject to civil penalties up to $100,000 per violation, enforceable by the Attorney General. This bill protects against minors being exposed to inappropriate content.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, children should be protected from sexually explicit material that undermines innocence and moral development. Government appropriately serves the common good when it upholds standards that help families raise children in safe and wholesome environments.
Psalm 82:3-4 – "Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."
Leadership Insight
God commands leaders to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Justice is not passive - it requires intervention. Leaders who ignore the vulnerable betray their calling. Advocacy for the powerless is not optional; it's obedience.
HB 2257Senate 20251x

Protecting Religious Liberties by Prohibiting Vaccine-Status as a Sole Barrier to Foster-Care Placement.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits the Department of Child Safety from refusing to place a child in a licensed foster home or qualified kinship foster care home based solely on the vaccination status of the child or other children in the household. The measure preserves existing health and safety standards while ensuring placement decisions are not driven by a single medical factor unrelated to a caregiver's ability to provide a safe and stable home. By removing an inflexible administrative barrier, the bill helps keep children with qualified families and reduces unnecessary government interference in placement decisions.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families should not be excluded from serving children because of sincerely held religious convictions. Protecting conscience rights affirms human dignity, strengthens families, and allows more loving homes to care for children in need.
Romans 14:3-4 – "The one who eats everything must not treat with contempt the one who does not, and the one who does not eat everything must not judge the one who does, for God has accepted them. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall."
Leadership Insight
Paul protects liberty of conscience as a sacred right - the foundation of First Freedom. No government, employer, or cultural force has authority to judge another's servant or coerce compliance on matters of faith and conviction. First Freedom protects religious believers from contempt, discrimination, and forced participation in activities that violate their conscience. When government mandates contradict sincere religious conviction, believers must be free to follow God.
HB 2438Senate 20251x

Prohibiting Sex Designation Changes on Birth Certificates Based on Gender Transition.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits amending a birth certificate to change the sex designation to reflect a gender transition, sex reassignment surgery, or change in gender identity. It allows for limited amendments to the sex field to cases where the original information was "factually inaccurate at the time of recordation" (i.e., clerical errors or mistakes present at birth registration), but requires applicants to prove factual inaccuracy beyond a reasonable doubt for non-clerical changes (a higher evidentiary standard).
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, Scripture affirms that God created two sexes, male and female, and this truth is not subject to government redefinition. Public policy should honor God’s design and protect individuals from being forced to deny moral and biological reality.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
HB 2515Senate 20251x

Strengthening Truth-in-Taxation Protections and Voter Transparency for Local Tax Increases.

Against CEA
This bill makes extensive updates to Arizona's truth-in-taxation laws by strengthening notice, disclosure, and voter information requirements for school district budgets, bond elections, overrides, and other local tax increases. The measure standardizes clearer ballot language, expands required taxpayer impact disclosures, updates assessed value examples, and reinforces public hearing and roll call vote requirements across multiple taxing jurisdictions. For example, informational pamphlets and notices are required to show tax impacts for both a $100,000 home value and a $400,000 home value (and for larger commercial-property valuations, where relevant). By ensuring taxpayers receive clear, consistent, and detailed information before voting on tax increases or government debt, the bill improves transparency and accountability in how local governments raise and spend public funds.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families are better stewards of their resources than the state. Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their income when revenues are strong promotes responsibility, generosity, and respect for the proper limits of government.
Luke 14:28-30 – "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"
Leadership Insight
Vision must meet calculation. God honors leaders who count costs before claiming promises. Stewardship without foresight breeds collapse.
HB 2576Senate 20253x

Protecting Businesses by Requiring Notice and Opportunity to Cure Regulatory Compliance Deficiencies.

Against CEA
This bill amends Arizona's administrative procedure laws to expand and clarify the rights of regulated individuals and businesses during state inspections, audits, and investigations. The measure requires agencies to provide written notice of rights, disclose inspection authority, allow representation, issue timely inspection reports, and give regulated parties an opportunity to correct alleged deficiencies before enforcement action is taken, except in limited circumstances. By reinforcing notice, transparency, and correction opportunities, the bill limits arbitrary enforcement and ensures agencies do not use regulatory power in a coercive or punitive manner.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.
HB 2670Senate 20251x

Requiring Accurate Fetal-Development Instruction in School Health Curricula.

Against CEA
This bill requires the State Board of Education to include instruction on fetal development in health education courses for students in grades seven and eight, with optional age-appropriate instruction in other grades. The measure specifies that instruction include information on human reproduction, pregnancy, infertility, and the growth and development of an unborn child during each trimester, while requiring parental notice and allowing parents to opt their child out. By ensuring factual, age-appropriate information is presented with full parental awareness and choice, the bill promotes transparency in curriculum without mandating student participation.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, unborn life is sacred and deserving of protection. Public policy should honor God’s design with laws that uphold justice, affirm the value of life, and ensure the law does not enable harm to the most vulnerable.
Psalm 139:13-16 – "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Leadership Insight
David declares that God forms every person in the womb - a truth that shapes First Freedom's protection of religious pro-life conviction. Believers who hold that life begins at conception must be free to operate hospitals, businesses, and ministries according to this conviction. First Freedom protects religious organizations from being forced to fund, perform, or participate in abortion against their sincere belief that God is the Author of life from conception.
HB 2704Senate 20253x

Exploding Spending by Providing $500 Million for Repairs and Renovations for the Diamondbacks.

Against CEA
This bill provides up to $500 million (with the maximum amount increased by 3% annually) to the Maricopa County Stadium District for repairs, maintenance, and improvements to Chase Field in Phoenix, where the Arizona Diamondbacks of Major League Baseball play. The bill directs 82% of income taxes from professional baseball players to be used for this purpose, as well as the transaction privilege taxes for sales at the stadium and adjacent buildings. The bill provides a long-term, preferential financial benefit to a politically favored project and shifts risk from private interests to taxpayers.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship requires careful and fair use of public resources. Subsidizing wealthy professional sports organizations through taxpayer-funded incentives prioritizes entertainment subsidies over responsible governance and respect for limited government.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.
HB 2774Senate 20252x

Promoting Energy Development by Reducing Regulatory Barriers for Small Modular Nuclear Reactors.

Against CEA
This bill allows utilities to construct small modular nuclear reactors that are co-located with large industrial energy users without obtaining a new certificate of environmental compatibility and limits local zoning restrictions in certain counties. The measure establishes clear conditions under which these reactors may be sited, directs the Corporation Commission to adopt implementing rules, and maintains compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. By reducing duplicative regulatory hurdles, the bill encourages private investment in reliable energy infrastructure without expanding government control or subsidies.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on lawmakers who craft economic policies that oppress the poor through excessive taxation, regulatory barriers to entry, and cronyism that favors the connected over the capable. Economic freedom is justice for the poor - when the working class keeps more of their earnings, when small businesses can compete without crushing compliance costs, and when families can build wealth without government extraction. Unjust economic laws always hit the poor hardest.
HB 2868Senate 20251x

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting Government-Funded DEI Programs and Preferential Treatment in Public Institutions.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits state agencies, cities, counties, public universities, and community colleges from establishing or maintaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices, requiring DEI statements, mandating DEI training, or granting preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. The measure applies these restrictions across multiple levels of government while preserving compliance with state and federal nondiscrimination laws and allowing neutral academic instruction and lawful data collection. By preventing government entities from adopting policies that mandate ideological conformity or unequal treatment, the bill reinforces equal protection and limits the use of public power to advance divisive frameworks.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, individuals are created equal in dignity and worth, and government policies should not elevate or diminish a person based on immutable characteristics. This legislation affirms fairness, personal responsibility, and equal treatment while limiting government intrusion into decisions that should be guided by merit and moral integrity.
Galatians 3:28 – "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Leadership Insight
In Christ, economic opportunity transcends social categories - no person's worth or potential is determined by their background, class, or demographic. Economic freedom protects this biblical truth by ensuring all people can compete, create, and prosper based on capability rather than government-assigned categories. Policies that divide people into economic classes for preferential treatment or punishment contradict the gospel's declaration that all are one in Christ.
HB 2895Senate 20251x

Increasing Transparency in Government Contracting by Requiring Public Disclosure of Task Order Contracts.

Against CEA
This bill requires cities, counties, school districts, and state agencies to publicly post task order contracts on their websites, including the total dollar amount, contractor identity, description of services, and contract length, while allowing limited redaction of personal or proprietary information. The bill defines "task order contract" as any indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for supplies or services under which task orders may be issued over the contract period. The measure applies uniform disclosure requirements across multiple levels of government for indefinite delivery or quantity contracts that are often executed with minimal public visibility. By ensuring these contracts are easily accessible to the public, the bill reduces opportunities for hidden spending and backroom deals in government procurement.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, authority should be exercised with accountability, humility, and restraint. Ensuring that contracts are subject to transparent review by citizens promotes justice, stewardship, and respect for the proper limits of government power.
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.
HB 2920Senate 20251x

Increasing Transparency in School Property Taxes by Requiring Clear Disclosure of State and Local Tax Rates.

Against CEA
This bill requires county treasurers to clearly display, on each property tax bill and statement, both the state-determined qualifying tax rate for a school district and the higher tax rate actually set and levied by the school district. The measure standardizes the language used to present this information so taxpayers can easily distinguish between the minimum rate established by state law and the rate chosen by local school officials. By clearly separating state requirements from local decisions, the bill ensures property owners are better informed about who is responsible for higher school tax burdens.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honesty and clarity are essential when government imposes financial obligations on families. This bill reflects stewardship and fairness by ensuring taxpayers clearly understand how and why their property taxes are set.
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.
SB 1001Senate 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Increasing Early-Ballot Verification and Tabulation Standards.

Against CEA
This bill requires voters to present valid identification when dropping off early ballots after 7:00 p.m. on the Friday before election day. The measure tightens rules governing late early ballot returns, clarifies who may handle and deliver ballots during this period, and strengthens chain-of-custody and verification procedures for ballots returned close to election day. The bill addresses heightened risk during the final days of voting by ensuring late ballots are returned by authorized individuals under clear, enforceable standards.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.
SB 1002Senate 20251x

Requiring Parental Consent for Schools to Use a Student's "Preferred Pronoun" that is Inconsistent with their Biological Sex.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits public and charter school employees from addressing or referring to a minor student by a name or pronoun that does not align with the student's biological sex, unless the school receives written parental permission. The measure also protects school employees and contractors from being compelled to use pronouns that conflict with their sincerely held religious or moral convictions and requires schools to adopt policies implementing these protections. By reinforcing parental involvement and preventing compelled speech, the bill limits institutional overreach into family decisions and personal conscience.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted with the responsibility to guide their children’s moral and educational development. Requiring parental consent honors family authority, protects conscience, and reflects the proper, limited role of government in education.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
SB 1003Senate 20252x

Preserving Student Safety and Privacy While Requiring Reasonable Accommodations in Public Schools.

Against CEA
This bill requires public K-12 schools to designate multi-occupancy restrooms, locker rooms, showers, and changing facilities based on a person's biological sex at birth, as listed on their birth certificate. It prohibits students from using facilities designated for the opposite biological sex, with exceptions only for maintenance, emergencies, or authorized personnel. It also mandates that schools provide reasonable accommodations (e.g., access to a single-occupancy restroom, private changing area, or staff-supervised space) upon written request from any student, parent, or employee who is unwilling or unable to use a multi-occupancy facility for any reason.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this legislation affirms the inherent dignity of every child and the moral responsibility to protect their privacy and safety. Clear standards rooted in biological reality help ensure that residential educational environments remain places of trust, order, and respect consistent with biblical principles.
Deuteronomy 22:5 – "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this."
Leadership Insight
God's design for gender is intentional, not arbitrary. Leaders who defend biological truth protect the foundation of family, identity, and society. Cultural pressure to erase distinctions does not change divine design. Clarity about gender honors God's created order.
SB 1019Senate 20253x

Combatting "Taxation through Citation" by Prohibiting Photo-Enforcement Systems.

Against CEA
This bill repeals existing statutes authorizing photo enforcement systems and prohibits state and local governments from using cameras or automated systems to identify traffic violations, including speeding and failure to obey traffic control devices. The measure restores traffic enforcement authority exclusively to sworn law enforcement officers and eliminates the use of private, for-profit vendors in issuing citations. By removing automated enforcement schemes, the bill prevents revenue-driven policing practices and protects due process and accountability in traffic enforcement.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, justice and fairness require accountability and human judgment in the exercise of authority. This bill promotes integrity and restraint by ensuring law enforcement serves public safety rather than revenue generation through automated systems.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.
SB 1031Senate 20252x

Expanding Regulatory Burdens on Manufacturers by Prohibiting the Sale of Animal-Tested Cosmetics.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits manufacturers from selling cosmetics in Arizona if the product or its ingredients were developed or manufactured using animal testing after December 31, 2025, subject to narrow statutory exceptions. The measure establishes new definitions, enforcement authority, civil penalties, and statewide preemption, effectively imposing Arizona-specific standards on cosmetic development and supply chains that extend beyond existing federal regulation. While framed as an ethical consumer protection policy, the bill increases regulatory burdens on manufacturers and suppliers, limits market access for lawful products, and further interferes in the private marketplace.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Isaiah 10:1-2 – "Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless."
Leadership Insight
God pronounces woe on those who issue oppressive decrees - regulations, mandates, and compliance requirements that crush businesses and deprive workers of opportunity. Operational freedom fights the bureaucratic oppression that kills small businesses, prevents entrepreneurship, and protects established interests at the expense of new entrants. When licensing laws, zoning restrictions, and regulatory burdens make it impossible for the poor to start businesses, government becomes the oppressor Isaiah condemns.

Strengthening Election Integrity by Prohibiting Public Resources from Being Used to Influence Elections.

Against CEA
This bill strengthens prohibitions on the use of public resources by cities, counties, school districts, charter schools, special taxing districts, and state agencies to influence the outcome of elections. The measure expands the definition of "influencing the outcomes of elections" to include presenting, in any manner that is not impartial or neutral, information related to an election or the subject of an election contemplated within a jurisdiction, in addition to traditional advocacy for or against candidates or ballot measures. By clarifying and broadening what constitutes improper electioneering, the bill reinforces clear boundaries between government operations and political advocacy and protects taxpayers from having public resources used to shape electoral outcomes.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.

Strengthening Election Integrity Through Enhanced Voting-Equipment Security and Chain-of-Custody Protections.

Against CEA
This bill requires that voting and tabulation equipment used at polling places, voting centers, and counting centers have no internet connectivity and prohibits any remote access to election data or results. The measure establishes detailed chain of custody requirements, mandates tamper-proof seals and logging of access, requires nonstop video recording at counting centers, and creates penalties for violations. By setting clear, uniform security standards, the bill reduces the risk of improper access and increases transparency in how ballots are handled and counted.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.

Strengthening Accountability in Government Welfare Programs Through Improved Eligibility Verification.

Against CEA
This bill expands the verification requirements for eligibility in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and related public welfare programs. It requires the Arizona Department of Economic Security to regularly cross-check SNAP recipients against data such as lottery or gambling winnings, corrections records, employment, income, and out-of-state benefit card use. It also mandates public reporting of aggregate data on investigations, improper payments, fraud referrals, recovered funds, and amounts spent on out-of-state transactions. By ensuring benefits are limited to eligible recipients and misuse is identified and addressed, the bill protects limited public resources and reinforces program integrity.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this bill reflects the biblical principle of faithful stewardship by ensuring public assistance is administered with honesty and integrity. Strengthening accountability helps preserve resources for those truly in need while honoring taxpayers as responsible stewards of what has been entrusted to them.
Matthew 25:23 – "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things."
Leadership Insight
Faithfulness precedes promotion. God advances leaders who excel in stewardship before expansion. Every small act done with excellence prepares you for greater influence.

Preventing Government Overreach by Banning Mileage-Based Taxes, Tracking, and Travel-Reduction Mandates.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits the state and local governments from establishing vehicle miles traveled reduction goals, tracking individual vehicle mileage through odometers, cameras, license plate data, or third-party sources, or imposing any mileage-based taxes or fees on individual drivers. The measure applies these prohibitions broadly to transportation and land use planning and clearly bars per-mile charges while allowing narrow exceptions for interstate commercial vehicle agreements and government-owned vehicles. By blocking mileage tracking and per-mile taxation, the bill prevents the expansion of surveillance-based transportation policy and protects drivers from new forms of taxation tied to personal movement.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, individual liberty and personal privacy should be respected and safeguarded from unnecessary government intrusion. This bill reflects stewardship and restraint by preventing surveillance and taxation schemes that track personal behavior rather than respecting the dignity and freedom of individuals.
Leviticus 25:10 – "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Leadership Insight
The Year of Jubilee proclaimed economic liberty - restoration of property, cancellation of debts, and freedom from bondage. Economic freedom follows this biblical pattern: protecting property rights, enabling debt relief through bankruptcy rather than permanent servitude, and ensuring families can rebuild wealth across generations. Government policies that permanently trap families in poverty, extract generational wealth through death taxes, or prevent property ownership contradict Jubilee's vision of economic restoration.
SB 1093Senate 20251x

Protecting Taxpayers by Prohibiting ESG Considerations in State and Local Investments.

Against CEA
This requires state investments by the Treasurer or fiduciaries to be made solely in the interest of the beneficiary based on pecuniary (financial) factors that materially affect risk-adjusted returns. It explicitly prohibits consideration of non-pecuniary factors like environmental, social, or governance (ESG) criteria unless they directly impact financial performance. ESG is woke capitalism that forces progressive priorities, such as climate activism, diversity quotas, and gun control, on corporations.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this bill guards against the imposition of ideological standards that can unfairly burden families and businesses. Ensuring that regulatory decisions are accountable and transparent reflects biblical values of fairness, honesty, and responsible governance.
Proverbs 11:1 – "The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him."
Leadership Insight
Integrity in business is not optional - it’s spiritual obedience. Every transaction reflects the character of the Kingdom. Honesty is Heaven’s currency for influence.

Expanding Access to Healthcare by Allowing Certain Dental Assistants to Perform Limited Preventive Procedures.

With CEA
This law creates a new license classification - "oral preventive assistant" - to allow dental assistants who complete a board-approved training course and meet certain qualification requirements to perform limited dental hygiene tasks. This includes coronal scaling (removal of plaque, calculus, and stains) on periodontally healthy patients or those with mild localized gingivitis, under specified supervision. The law prohibits more advanced or invasive procedures, and requires that patients be informed when care is provided by an assistant rather than a licensed dentist or hygienist. This bill reduces unnecessary licensure barriers, allows providers to practice at the top of their training, and improves access to preventive care without expanding state bureaucracy.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, expanding access to medical care serves the well-being of families and communities while honoring the dignity of those seeking to use their talents to serve others. This bill responsibly removes unnecessary barriers for qualified dental assistants while maintaining accountability and high standards of care.
Proverbs 14:23 – "All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."

Expanding Medicaid to Cover Continuous Glucose Monitors.

Against CEA
This bill requires the state Medicaid administration to mandate coverage of continuous glucose monitors through both pharmacy and durable medical equipment benefits and directs providers to follow updated coverage criteria aligned with current standards of care. The measure removes flexibility from the state's managed care system by prescribing how coverage decisions must be structured and requiring public posting of coverage criteria.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for those needing care must be balanced with responsible stewardship of public resources. Expanding government health care spending through statutory mandates risks placing additional burdens on families and future generations rather than encouraging sustainable and community-centered care.
Isaiah 55:2 – "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare."
Leadership Insight
God questions spending on what fails to nourish or satisfy. Healthcare freedom means rejecting one-size-fits-all mandates that force individuals and employers into systems that violate conscience or fail to meet real needs. Leaders who protect healthcare choice allow families and businesses to pursue treatments, coverage, and providers aligned with their values - "eating what is good" rather than consuming what government prescribes.
SB 1142Senate 20251x

Strengthening Election Integrity by Prohibiting Foreign Influence in Elections.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits foreign corporations, foreign persons, and foreign nongovernmental sources from contributing money or in-kind goods or services to influence the outcome of an election on a ballot measure. The measure also requires candidates, committees, and entities subject to campaign finance reporting to certify, under penalty of perjury, that they have not accepted or used prohibited foreign contributions, while expressly exempting federally recognized tribal nations. By closing loopholes that allow foreign money to influence state ballot initiatives, the bill safeguards the integrity of Arizona's election process and ensures decisions are driven by Arizonans rather than outside interests.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, this legislation upholds honesty, accountability, and stewardship in the civic process while protecting the rights of individuals and organizations to participate without fear of unjust exposure. Guarding elections from foreign manipulation while respecting conscience and free expression aligns with biblical principles of justice and ordered liberty.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly.

SB 1243Senate 20251x

Strengthening Public Transparency by Requiring Open-Meeting Bodies to Hold Public Comment Sessions at the Start of Meetings.

Against CEA
This bill amends Arizona's open meeting law to require that, when a public body offers an open call to the public, it must be held at the beginning of the meeting before official business is conducted and must allow individuals to submit requests to speak throughout the open call period. The measure clarifies timing rules, posting requirements, and procedural safeguards to ensure public comment is not limited or curtailed through administrative practices. By standardizing when and how the public may address governing bodies, the bill improves transparency and ensures citizens have a meaningful opportunity to engage with officials before decisions are made.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, those in authority should listen humbly and govern openly. This bill reflects integrity and stewardship by ensuring citizens have a fair and timely opportunity to speak before public bodies act.
Proverbs 11:14 – "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers."
Leadership Insight
Wise leaders seek counsel, not consensus. Accountability preserves freedom. Godly collaboration guards both vision and virtue.
SB 1310Senate 20251x

Strengthening Property Rights by Increasing Penalties for Falsifying Real Estate Documents.

Against CEA
This bill strengthens existing property law by increasing the criminal penalty for knowingly recording or filing false documents that affect title to real property, such as forged deeds, quitclaim deeds, or liens used in scams to steal homes or equity. It also elevates the offense from a Class 1 misdemeanor (up to 6 months jail, $2,500 fine) to a Class 4 felony (up to 2.5 years prison, $150,000 fine in some cases), with enhanced penalties if the fraud causes significant financial loss or targets vulnerable victims, such as elderly homeowners. This protects private property rights, reinforces the rule of law, and ensures government recording systems are not exploited to facilitate fraud or abuse.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, the protection of private property and the rule of law are essential to maintaining justice and order in society. This bill upholds those principles by ensuring that rightful property owners are not unjustly deprived of their homes.
Proverbs 21:15 – "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."
Leadership Insight
Justice is not neutral - it rewards righteousness and confronts evil. Leaders who execute justice faithfully create cultures where virtue thrives and corruption fears. Moral clarity strengthens societies; moral ambiguity weakens them.

Combatting Local Government Overreach by Restricting Government Recycling Mandates on Residents.

Against CEA
This bill prohibits cities, towns, counties, and other political subdivisions from recommending or requiring residents to place materials in recycling bins unless those materials are actively being recycled into new products. The measure defines "actively recycled" and applies the standard uniformly across local recycling programs, while preserving the ability of local governments to offer recycling opportunities. By barring governments from directing residents to recycle materials that are not actually recycled, the bill reduces wasteful practices and prevents misleading instructions that undermine public trust.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, excessive regulation can hinder honest work and stewardship by placing unnecessary burdens on businesses and workers. Limited government that respects personal responsibility and economic freedom best allows individuals and communities to flourish while still prioritizing safety.
Exodus 1:17 – "The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live."
Leadership Insight
The Hebrew midwives ran small businesses providing essential services - and Pharaoh demanded they weaponize their commerce against the innocent. Economic freedom includes the right to refuse government mandates that violate conscience or harm others. When the state commands businesses to participate in evil, faithful entrepreneurs must resist. Economic liberty is not unlimited - it is bounded by moral duty to God, not government.
SB 1318Senate 20251x

Returning Money to Taxpayers by Automatically Reducing the Individual Income Tax Rate.

Against CEA
This bill directs the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) to annually calculate key revenue metrics starting in fiscal year 2025-2026, including the growth limit (inflation-adjusted spending cap) and the amount of excess state tax collections. It requires the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) to reduce the individual income tax rate by 50% of the projected structural surplus for each taxable year beginning January 1, 2026. It ensures the rate cut is revenue-neutral or surplus-driven, with JLBC projections guiding the adjustment. By tying tax relief directly to surplus revenues and limiting government growth, the bill ensures taxpayers benefit when state collections exceed responsible spending limits.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
Leviticus 25:10 – "Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan."
Leadership Insight

Growing Government Dependency by Expanding Medicaid Dental Benefits.

Against CEA
This bill amends Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System statutes to replace emergency-only adult dental services with comprehensive dental coverage for individuals age twenty-one and older, capped at $1,000 per member annually. The measure converts a limited, optional benefit into an ongoing entitlement, expanding the scope of covered Medicaid services without accompanying reforms to address cost growth, program sustainability, or long-term funding impacts. The bill increases government-managed healthcare obligations and commits additional taxpayer resources within an already strained entitlement program.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, compassion for those in need should be paired with accountability and policies that encourage independence and responsibility. Expanding entitlement programs without clear limits risks fostering dependency and placing additional burdens on families and taxpayers, rather than strengthening community-based care and support.
Isaiah 55:2 – "Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare."
Leadership Insight
God questions spending on what fails to nourish or satisfy.

SB 1443Senate 20251x

Strengthening Parental Rights by Providing Cause of Action Against Government Interference.

Against CEA
This bill amends Arizona's Parents' Bill of Rights to explicitly include mental health care decisions and reinforces parents' authority to direct the upbringing, education, and health care of their minor children without improper government interference. The measure clarifies the burden of proof placed on government entities that interfere with parental rights and authorizes courts to award compensatory damages, with a minimum of $2,500 per violation, when those rights are unlawfully infringed. By creating meaningful consequences for violations, the bill ensures parental rights are not merely symbolic but actively protected against government overreach.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, parents are entrusted by God with the responsibility to raise and guide their children. Affirming parental rights in the constitution honors the family as a foundational institution and limits government interference in God-given parental authority.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

Expanding the Role of Government in Medical Research Through a $10 Million State Appropriation for Drug Research.

With CEA
This bill appropriates $10,000,000 from the state general fund in FY 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Health Services to award research grants for clinical trials involving midomafetamine as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. The measure directs funding to a narrow set of qualifying entities that have completed late-stage trials and are participating in a federal drug review process and exempts the appropriation from standard lapsing requirements. The bill commits significant taxpayer resources to a specific experimental treatment and research effort rather than relying on private, philanthropic, or federal funding pathways.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship calls for restraint and accountability in the use of public funds. Creating ongoing grant programs risks dependency on government support instead of encouraging voluntary, community-based efforts rooted in responsibility and self-sufficiency.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, 'This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots... He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants... and you yourselves will become his slaves'"
Leadership Insight
Centralized power always demands sacrifice from the people. God warned Israel that human kings would grow government at the expense of liberty. Limited government protects freedom; expansive government enslaves. Leaders must resist the temptation to control what they should serve.
SB 1464Senate 20251x

Protecting Taxpayers Through Legislative Oversight of New Tax Interpretations.

Against CEA
This bill requires the Department of Revenue to notify legislative tax committees before adopting a new interpretation or application of tax law that would adversely affect taxpayers and provides for legislative hearings on the proposed change. The measure reinforces existing limits on retroactive tax enforcement, establishes prospective application as the default, and preserves affirmative defenses for taxpayers when agencies reinterpret statutes without legislative changes. By requiring transparency and legislative oversight before agencies impose new tax interpretations, the bill protects taxpayers from surprise liabilities and unchecked administrative action.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, authority should be exercised with accountability, humility, and restraint. Ensuring that major regulations are subject to transparent review by elected representatives promotes justice, stewardship, and respect for the proper limits of government power.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.

Promoting Fiscal Responsibility by Eliminating Agency Positions Vacant for More than 150 Days.

Against CEA
This bill requires state budget units to report full-time equivalent positions that have remained vacant for at least 150 days and mandates the elimination of those long-vacant positions each fiscal year, with corresponding adjustments to authorized staffing levels. Certain agencies are exempt from the requirement, such as Department of Public Safety, Board of Regents, and public universities. By requiring the removal of dormant positions, the bill promotes leaner government operations and ensures staffing authorizations more accurately reflect actual workforce needs.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship of public resources requires honesty, restraint, and accountability. This bill reflects responsible governance by reducing waste and ensuring government operates efficiently and transparently.
Luke 14:28-30 – "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"

Strengthening National Security by Requiring Jails to Share Information with Federal Immigration Authorities.

Against CEA
This bill requires county detention facilities to transmit name, address, date of birth, gender, and social-security number of certain arrestees to federal immigration authorities on a daily basis or when requested. For those arrested for certain serious crimes, including burglary, theft, assault on law-enforcement officers, or offenses resulting in death or serious injury, the bill also mandates providing a photograph, physical descriptors, and granting ICE access for interviews. By ensuring timely information sharing for individuals arrested for serious crimes, the bill reinforces coordination between jurisdictions and prevents local policies from obstructing lawful immigration enforcement.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, government has a God-ordained responsibility to restrain evil and protect innocent life. Ensuring that violent offenders are held accountable for their actions promotes justice, safeguards families and communities, and affirms the value of human life.
Romans 13:1-4 – "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Leadership Insight
Government authority is legitimate only when it reflects God's design - to punish evil and reward good. Leaders submit to righteous authority but resist tyranny. Romans 13 is not a blank check for government overreach; it's a framework for godly governance rooted in justice.
SB 1612Senate 20251x

Adding Transparency in Government Contracting by Repealing Procurement Exemptions and Requiring Disclosure of Political Donations.

Against CEA
This bill makes changes to state procurement and grant administration by strengthening document retention requirements, prohibiting the destruction of evaluation notes. It requires companies seeking state contracts or grants to disclose certain prior donations connected to the Governor or related political entities. The measure applies these disclosure and recordkeeping requirements across procurement and grant processes to ensure decisions are documented and subject to public scrutiny. By increasing transparency around contracting decisions and potential conflicts of interest, the bill reinforces ethical standards and deters favoritism in the use of public funds.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, those entrusted with public authority are called to act with integrity, honesty, and humility. Strengthening transparency affirms the biblical principle that leaders must be accountable and faithful stewards of the power placed in their care
Romans 14:12 – "So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God."
Leadership Insight
Freedom carries accountability. No system, mandate, or policy can replace personal responsibility before God. Leaders must defend the right to act from conscience because judgment is individual, not collective.
SB 1693Senate 20251x

Expanding School Choice by Allowing Private School Students to Participate in Public School Interscholastic Activities.

Against CEA
This bill allows private school students who reside within a public school's jurisdiction to try out for and participate in interscholastic activities offered by that public school if the private school does not offer the same activity. The measure requires public schools to apply the same eligibility, conduct, and participation standards to private school students, while limiting participation fees to a student's pro rata share of program costs. By eliminating barriers that discourage parents from choosing private school for their children, the bill expands school choice.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, expanding access to quality educational options respects the role of parents as primary decision-makers in their children’s upbringing. Policies that encourage accountability, opportunity, and freedom in education align with biblical principles of stewardship and responsibility.
Acts 4:19-20 – "Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."

SB 1726Senate 20251x

Strengthening Property Rights by Expediting Removal of Squatters.

Against CEA
This bill strengthens protections for residential property owners by increasing penalties for recording fraudulent or groundless real property documents and by establishing a clear process for the expeditious removal of unlawful occupants from residential dwellings. The measure authorizes property owners to submit a sworn affidavit to law enforcement when specific conditions are met, allowing officers to investigate and, upon finding probable cause, immediately restore possession to the lawful owner. By addressing fraudulent filings, squatting, and unlawful occupancy, the bill restores core property rights and reduces prolonged legal delays that leave owners vulnerable to theft, vandalism, and financial loss.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, the protection of private property and the rule of law are essential to maintaining justice and order in society. This bill upholds those principles by ensuring that rightful property owners are not unjustly deprived of their homes while still providing remedies against wrongful removal.
Proverbs 21:15 – "When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers."

Expanding Government by Creating a New Office of Defense Innovation and Extending the Microbusiness Loan Program.

Against CEA
This bill establishes a new Office of Defense Innovation within the state commerce authority to coordinate with the federal government, support defense-related industries, pursue federal funding, and develop strategic plans tied to defense, aerospace, and emerging technologies. The measure also extends and modifies the state's microbusiness loan program, continuing a government-directed lending structure that allocates public funds through selected intermediaries. While framed as economic development and competitiveness, the bill expands state involvement in directing private industry, picking favored sectors, and growing administrative functions better left to the market.
OPPOSE is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, stewardship and fairness require restraint in the use of public resources. Continuing targeted loans and subsidies for select projects risks misusing taxpayer funds and undermines principles of responsibility, equity, and limited government.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.

SCR 1008Senate 20252x

Protecting Taxpayers by Requiring a 2/3 Legislative Vote to Adopt Local Tax Increases.

Against CEA
This resolution submits to the voters a measure requiring a two-thirds vote of a city council or county board of supervisors before any increase in local assessments, taxes, or fees may be levied or imposed. The measure declares regulation of local tax and fee increases to be a matter of statewide concern and preempts local governments from adopting looser standards for raising revenue. By raising the threshold for increasing taxes and fees, the resolution makes it harder for local governments to impose new financial burdens without broad consensus and greater accountability to taxpayers.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, families are better stewards of their resources than the state. Allowing taxpayers to keep more of their income when revenues are strong promotes responsibility, generosity, and respect for the proper limits of government.
1 Samuel 8:10-18 – "Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king.

HB 2121Senate 20251x

Promoting Self-Sufficiency by Requiring Employment and Training Program Participation for Able-bodied SNAP Recipients.

Neutral
This bill requires able-bodied adults under age 60 who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to participate in a mandatory employment or training program - unless exempted (for example, due to caring for a young child, being enrolled at least half-time in school, working at least 30 hours/week, participating in a substance-abuse treatment program, or other statutory exceptions). By tying public assistance to employment and training for those capable of working, the bill reinforces the expectation that government support should be temporary and connected to self-sufficiency.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, public assistance programs should reflect wise stewardship and promote the well-being of individuals and families. Encouraging employment and training supports the faithful management of resources entrusted to government.

This bill requires county election officials to remove a voter from the active early voting list when election notices are returned as undeliverable and the voter cannot be contacted to confirm a valid address. The measure clarifies procedures for updating voter records, prevents repeated mailing of ballots to invalid addresses, and requires voters to submit a new request to rejoin the list if removed. By ensuring early ballots are sent only to valid, confirmed addresses, the bill strengthens the integrity of the early voting system and reduces waste and misuse of election materials.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, honest and orderly elections are essential to just governance. Protecting the integrity of the voting process promotes trust, fairness, and respect for the rule of law entrusted to civil authorities.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 – "Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the innocent. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you."
Leadership Insight
Moses commands impartial justice - judges who follow "justice alone" without showing partiality. First Freedom depends on courts that protect religious liberty impartially, without favoring secular ideology over sincere faith. When judges show partiality against religious conviction, accepting the cultural bribes of elite approval, they pervert the justice God demands. First Freedom requires judges who fear God more than cultural pressure.

Reducing Government Dependency by Aligning Unemployment Benefits with Job Market Conditions.

Neutral
This bill reduces the maximum number of weeks an individual may receive unemployment benefits when unemployment rates are lower and scales benefit length based on current economic conditions. The measure replaces a fixed, extended benefit model with a tiered approach that shortens benefit duration during periods of low unemployment while preserving longer benefits when joblessness is higher. By limiting prolonged unemployment benefits during strong labor markets, the bill encourages faster reentry into the workforce and reduces unnecessary strain on the unemployment insurance system.
SUPPORT is the CEA Position, based on:
From a faith-based perspective, work is a meaningful and dignified calling that supports individuals, families and communities. By reinforcing the temporary nature of unemployment benefits and encouraging timely reentry into the workforce, this bill promotes responsibility, stewardship and human flourishing.
Proverbs 14:23 – "All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty."
Leadership Insight
God blesses action more than intention. Productivity is not greed - it’s stewardship. Words build ideas; work builds Kingdom impact.
