AI Summary
This bill establishes new rules for when medical records can be accessed for immigration enforcement purposes in Arizona. It states that a healthcare provider, which is any entity that provides medical care, cannot release a patient's medical records or grant access to non-public areas of a medical facility for immigration enforcement – meaning efforts to investigate or enforce federal immigration laws – unless one of three conditions is met: the patient gives written permission, the provider receives a valid search warrant signed by a judge, or the provider is served with a subpoena as allowed by another section of law.
