HCM 2002 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

CAIR; terrorist organization; urging designation

Arizona's HCM 2002 is a legislative memorial urging the federal government to review whether the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) meets criteria for a foreign terrorist organization designation under U.S. law. It specifically requests President and Congress conduct a formal review and pass H.R. 4097, the "Designate CAIR as a Terrorist Organization Act," to assess CAIR's ties to terrorism. The memorial directs Arizona's Secretary of State to send this request to federal officials, including the State Department and Treasury. This procedural request does not create new law but seeks federal action based on existing legal mechanisms for terrorism designation. The bill directly affects CAIR's potential federal status and targets the executive and legislative branches for review.
