obsessive political preoccupation; research; report
SB 1712 requires Arizona's Department of Health Services to study "obsessive political preoccupation," defined as intense reactions to Donald J. Trump, his actions, or public presence. The bill mandates research on the phenomenon's origins, psychological/social impacts, contributing factors, and potential interventions, with a report due to state leaders within one year. It expires December 31, 2027, and does not directly affect specific individuals or groups but focuses on a politically defined behavioral concept. The legislation frames this as a public health issue based on its own findings, which exclusively reference Trump's policies and critics.
