SB 1660: attorney general; policies; immigration.

SB 1660, the "Immigration Safe Zones Act," requires Arizona's Attorney General to create policies within 60 days that limit state agency cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. These policies must protect specific public facilities - including public schools, community colleges, universities, libraries, courts, and publicly funded healthcare centers - from being used for immigration enforcement actions. The bill also mandates that state agencies remove all questions about immigration status from applications, questionnaires, or forms related to public services or education within 60 days. It defines "immigration enforcement" broadly to include federal efforts targeting individuals' presence, entry, or employment in the U.S. The law directly affects state agencies, public institutions, and residents seeking services at protected facilities.

SB 1708: property use; immigration enforcement; prohibition

SB 1708 prohibits Arizona cities, counties, and state-owned property from being used for civil immigration enforcement without a valid judicial warrant. It bans local and state governments from allowing immigration officers to use parking lots, garages, or vacant lots as staging areas, processing sites, or bases for enforcement operations. Within 30 days of the law taking effect, all affected government entities must post clear signage at public entrances stating the property cannot host immigration enforcement without a warrant. The law also requires immigration officers to show a warrant before questioning, detaining, or arresting anyone on government property. This directly affects local governments and their property management practices regarding immigration enforcement activities.

HB 2880: 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.

SB 1342: immigration; government agencies; prohibited acts

Arizona's SB 1342 prohibits municipal law enforcement agencies and health care facilities from stopping, detaining, or questioning people based on immigration status, sharing databases with federal immigration authorities, or using local resources to assist federal immigration enforcement. It requires agencies to collect immigration-related information only when strictly necessary for public services and prohibits disclosing such records without specific written consent from the individual. Agencies must also submit annual reports tracking federal immigration requests (like detainers) and their responses. The law does not block compliance with valid federal warrants or actions required by federal law.

The bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes to adjust definitions and prohibitions related to driver's license issuance, ensuring citizenship status is not required for obtaining a license. It prevents driver's licenses from being treated as evidence of citizenship in any context. This change directly affects all Arizona residents applying for or renewing a driver's license.

HB 2465: citizenship status; licensure; documentation

HB 2465 modifies Arizona's licensing requirements for professionals like certified public accountants by changing documentation rules. It prohibits state agencies from requiring applicants to provide citizenship or alien status documentation when applying for a license. Instead, agencies must accept a federal tax identification number in place of a Social Security number for licensing applications. This applies to all state agencies, departments, or boards issuing business or service licenses, directly affecting individuals seeking professional licenses in Arizona. The bill does not alter educational or experience requirements for licensure, only the documentation process.
