HB2788 prevents Arizona from using public funds to adopt, implement, or enforce the goals set by the United Nations in its 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The Arizona State House of Representatives passed HB2788 on February 28, 2024 by a vote of 31 to 28. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because this bill protects national and state sovereignty and local control. It prevents international goals and regulations from encroaching on state and local policies, thus safeguarding individual freedoms and limiting federal and international overreach. By blocking the adoption of the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the bill helps resist unconstitutional globalist agendas and preserve American independence.
