HB 2880 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

immigration; courts; hospitals; schools; daycares

HB 2880 creates protections for individuals attending court proceedings and sets requirements for hospitals regarding law enforcement interactions. Section 11-1052 grants a "privilege from civil arrest" to parties, witnesses, and court companions (including family members, advocates, or translators) while traveling to, at, or leaving court - covering courthouse premises and surrounding areas - but excludes criminal arrests. Section 11-1053 requires hospitals to adopt policies by January 1, 2027, including verifying law enforcement identity, designating waiting areas, and providing patients with privacy notices that allow redaction of immigration status, birthplace, or documents like passports. The bill directly affects court attendees, hospital staff, and law enforcement agencies interacting with patients. It does not address schools or daycares, despite the bill title.
