AI Summary

This bill, titled the "Immigration Safe Zones Act," requires the Arizona Attorney General to establish policies within sixty days of its effective date that limit state agencies' involvement in immigration enforcement and ensure that certain public facilities remain safe and accessible to all residents, regardless of immigration status. These protected facilities include public schools, community colleges, universities, publicly funded licensed daycare centers and preschools, public libraries, facilities operated by the Secretary of State, all state courts, and publicly funded medical treatment centers and healthcare facilities. The policies must also incorporate constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, requiring warrants based on probable cause. Furthermore, any applications, questionnaires, or interview forms used by state agencies, public schools, community colleges, or universities for benefits, opportunities, or services that ask about citizenship or immigration status must have those questions removed within sixty days of the bill's effective date. "Immigration enforcement" is defined broadly to include efforts related to civil immigration warrants, detainer requests, federal civil immigration laws, and federal criminal immigration laws that penalize presence, entry, reentry, or employment in the United States.
