HB 2904 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

sovereign authority; border; health crisis

HB 2904 declares Arizona's policy that the state must protect itself from drug cartels and federal border security failures, defining "drug cartel" to include human smuggling and fentanyl trafficking, and labeling border fentanyl trafficking a public health crisis. It states Arizona's laws should prioritize state sovereignty against "unlawful invasion" at the border (defined as cartel activities) and requires the state health department to address fentanyl-related overdose deaths. The bill does not create new funding, enforcement, or programs - it makes declaratory statements about policy and definitions. This is a procedural declaration, not a substantive law change.
