civil court supremacy; due process

HB 2604 establishes that private dispute resolution groups (like religious councils or community mediators) cannot override Arizona's civil courts or restrict access to them. It prohibits private tribunals from making binding decisions that discriminate based on sex, age, or other protected classes, and requires them to maintain transparency and documentation of voluntary participation. The bill specifically protects vulnerable individuals - such as children, abuse victims, or those under coercion - from having their legal rights waived or decisions enforced that violate due process. Civil courts retain full authority to review private tribunal decisions for fairness, voluntariness, and compliance with constitutional rights, while preserving religious freedom and nonbinding spiritual guidance.
