Muslim Brotherhood; designation; terrorist organization
HCM 2001 is a memorial (not a bill) from the Arizona House of Representatives requesting the U.S. President and Congress to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. It cites the group's historical ties to Hamas, al-Qaeda, and other designated terrorist entities, as well as alleged efforts to establish Sharia law governance and destabilize governments. The memorial also asks Arizona law enforcement to monitor Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations within the state. This is a non-binding request to the federal government, not a law, and does not change current legal status. The memorial was prefilled for introduction in 2025.

MINOR
The bill's text was reformatted from a standard legislative introduction to a House Concurrent Memorial, changing its formal title and presentation. The substantive content, including the arguments against the Muslim Brotherhood and the specific requests for federal designation and state-level monitoring, remains identical to the original version.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; it remains a request for the U.S. President and Congress to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.
TECHNICAL
The document structure was altered from an 'Introduced Version' to a 'House Engrossed Version,' changing the header from 'State of Arizona House of Representatives' to 'House Concurrent Memorial 2001' and adjusting the reference title format.
The text layout was reorganized to include blank lines and spacing adjustments typical of an engrossed bill, but no new policy language, definitions, or requirements were added or removed.
