Bill > SB1342

This bill, titled the "Immigrant Trust Act," establishes new rules for how municipal, county, and state law enforcement agencies in Arizona interact with individuals regarding their immigration status. It prohibits these agencies from stopping, questioning, arresting, searching, or detaining anyone based on their suspected citizenship or immigration status, or for suspected violations of federal civil immigration law. Furthermore, law enforcement agencies are forbidden from inquiring about a person's immigration status, citizenship, place of birth, or eligibility for a social security number, and from making arrests or prolonging detentions based on civil immigration warrants or detainers. The bill also restricts the use of public resources for immigration enforcement and limits the sharing of databases for such purposes. It clarifies that agencies can only collect immigration-related information when strictly necessary for administering public services and generally prohibits the disclosure of such information unless required by law, a court order, or with the individual's explicit written consent. Finally, law enforcement agencies are required to report to the Attorney General on their interactions with immigration authorities, and the Attorney General will make this information publicly available.
