Arizona SB1589 amends drug offense laws to increase penalties for offenses in drug-free school zones and mandates school report cards.

Arizona SB1589 amends the state's drug offense laws to increase penalties for offenses committed within drug-free school zones. The bill defines a drug-free school zone as areas within 300 feet of a school or its grounds, public property within 1,000 feet of a school, school bus stops, and school buses. It also mandates that schools distribute annual report cards to parents, detailing school programs, academic goals, test scores, attendance rates, incidents, and other metrics. The report cards must be sent to the state Department of Education, which compiles an annual report.
