Arizona, Take Action against SB1411:
https://t.co/vkt0APDQHD

[AZ APSE @ApseAz]

In Arizona, Senate Bill 1411 (SB1411) would grant parents guardianship of their children on their 18th birthday if their child is in DDD.

Arizona APSE is against this legislation and believes it takes away fundamental rights.

HB2401 is to be heard this morning! This bill, sponsored by @almaforarizona, aims to eliminate state & local sales tax from items most commonly used for menstrual cycles (feminine hygiene products) & incontinence supplies (diapers).
