Arizona Senate Bill 1433: Banning the Rental and Display to Minors of Video Games with Violent Content

Read Media Coalition's Memo in Opposition to S.B. 1433

Legislative History: Early in 1997, the Arizona legislature introduced a bill to ban the rental or display to minors of CD-ROM or video games with violent content. The bill was amended by the Senate Family Services Committee and later sent to the Senate Rules Committee. Media Coalition on February 27 sent a memo in opposition to Committee Chair Sen. Carol Springer expressing its members' concern about the bill. The Arizona legislature did not pass the bill.
