Bill > SB1660

This bill, titled the "Immigration Safe Zones Act," mandates that within sixty days of its effective date, the Arizona Attorney General must establish policies for state agencies and governmental entities to limit assistance with immigration enforcement, which is defined as efforts to investigate or enforce civil or criminal immigration laws or warrants. These policies are intended to ensure that certain public facilities, including public schools, community colleges, universities, publicly funded licensed day care centers, public libraries, facilities operated by the Secretary of State, all state courts, and publicly funded medical treatment centers and healthcare facilities, remain safe and accessible to all residents regardless of their immigration status. Furthermore, the bill requires that any application, questionnaire, or interview form used for benefits, opportunities, or services from state agencies or educational institutions that asks about citizenship or immigration status must have those questions removed within the same sixty-day timeframe, and any adopted policies must include protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and require warrants based on probable cause.
