AZ HB2604

Establishes that private tribunals (religious courts, arbitration panels, mediation councils) cannot supersede Arizona civil court jurisdiction or restrict, penalize, or discourage access to civil courts

Makes certain rights nonwaivable, including due process, equal protection, personal liberty, bodily integrity, and protection from abuse, with consent to private tribunal adjudication invalid if obtained through family/community pressure, coercion, or fear of ostracism

Prohibits enforcement of private tribunal decisions that applied discriminatory evidentiary rules based on sex, age, or marital status, and requires all participants have equal opportunity to present testimony and evidence

Requires independent civil court review under Arizona law for matters involving marriage, divorce, child custody, abuse, or personal safety, preventing private tribunals from treating such issues as solely private matters

Preserves religious freedom by explicitly prohibiting courts from interpreting religious doctrine, regulating worship or belief, or interfering with internal governance of religious organizations
