What does this mean?

Official title

To clarify that Arizona is in compliance with the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974 with respect to English language learners.

Plain summary

Declares that: (1) funding for English language learners provided by Arizona's 47th Legislature's Second Legislative Session is adequate; and (2) any failure of Arizona (or by any agency or subdivision of Arizona) to provide funding in excess of that amount is not a denial of equal educational opportunity under the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974, and is not a basis for a civil action, or for relief, against Arizona (or any agency or subdivision). Makes this Act applicable to litigation pending upon its enactment, including Flores v. Arizona.
