A measure that would keep anything Satan-related away from public spaces passed a state Senate committee on Wednesday morning.

The Committee on Government approved SB 1279 by a 5-1 vote, with two senators not voting. Republican Sen. Jake Hoffman, who represents southern Maricopa and Pinal counties, introduced the bill, which is also known as the Reject Escalating Satanism by Preserving Core Traditions Act. It would ban any symbols, statues or displays that represent or honor Satan from being on public property.
