Bill Summary

AN ACT AMENDING TITLE 38, CHAPTER 8, ARTICLE 1, ARIZONA REVISED STATUTES, BY ADDING SECTION 38-1121; RELATING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT agencies.

AI Summary

This bill, by adding Section 38-1121 to Arizona Revised Statutes, prohibits Arizona law enforcement agencies from entering into, modifying, or renewing agreements with federal immigration authorities to exercise federal civil immigration authority, specifically referencing 8 United States Code Section 1357(g), or to detain or house individuals in federal immigration custody for immigration law violations. However, the bill clarifies that this restriction does not prevent state law enforcement agencies from enforcing valid court-issued warrants or orders, or from complying with other federal requirements, and defines "law enforcement agency" to include municipal police departments, county sheriff's offices, publicly funded law enforcement departments, and the department of public safety.
