Bill Summary

Drug cartels; terrorist organizations

AI Summary

This Concurrent Resolution, passed by the Arizona House of Representatives and Senate, proposes a new law that declares drug cartels to be terrorist organizations and directs the Arizona Department of Homeland Security to address the threats they pose. The resolution defines a "drug cartel" as any group involved in human smuggling, drug trafficking for profit, or any act of terrorism as defined by state law, and defines "threat" as anything that harms individual rights or public safety. Importantly, this measure explicitly states that it does not support any alien's claim for asylum under federal law, and it will be presented to Arizona voters for approval at the next general election.
