SB 1660, the "Immigration Safe Zones Act," requires Arizona's Attorney General to create policies within 60 days that limit state agency cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. These policies must protect specific public facilities - including public schools, community colleges, universities, libraries, courts, and publicly funded healthcare centers - from being used for immigration enforcement actions. The bill also mandates that state agencies remove all questions about immigration status from applications, questionnaires, or forms related to public services or education within 60 days. It defines "immigration enforcement" broadly to include federal efforts targeting individuals' presence, entry, or employment in the U.S. The law directly affects state agencies, public institutions, and residents seeking services at protected facilities.

SB 1708: property use; immigration enforcement; prohibition

SB 1708 prohibits Arizona cities, counties, and state-owned property from being used for civil immigration enforcement without a valid judicial warrant. It bans local and state governments from allowing immigration officers to use parking lots, garages, or vacant lots as staging areas, processing sites, or bases for enforcement operations. Within 30 days of the law taking effect, all affected government entities must post clear signage at public entrances stating the property cannot host immigration enforcement without a warrant. The law also requires immigration officers to show a warrant before questioning, detaining, or arresting anyone on government property. This directly affects local governments and their property management practices regarding immigration enforcement activities.

HB 4111: immigration; customs officers; body cameras

HB 4111 requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers operating in Arizona to wear body-worn cameras during all public contacts, with limited exceptions (like avoiding unrelated personal information). It mandates that officers register their name and badge number with the state police and prohibits detaining individuals based solely on race, ethnicity, or national origin. Failure to activate cameras or tampering with footage creates a legal presumption of misconduct in civil investigations, with potential discipline up to termination. The bill directly affects ICE officers and the public they interact with, aiming to increase transparency in enforcement actions.

HB 2880: immigration; courts; hospitals; schools; daycares

HB 2880 creates protections for individuals attending court proceedings and sets requirements for hospitals regarding law enforcement interactions. Section 11-1052 grants a "privilege from civil arrest" to parties, witnesses, and court companions (including family members, advocates, or translators) while traveling to, at, or leaving court - covering courthouse premises and surrounding areas - but excludes criminal arrests. Section 11-1053 requires hospitals to adopt policies by January 1, 2027, including verifying law enforcement identity, designating waiting areas, and providing patients with privacy notices that allow redaction of immigration status, birthplace, or documents like passports. The bill directly affects court attendees, hospital staff, and law enforcement agencies interacting with patients. It does not address schools or daycares, despite the bill title.

HB 2879: medical records; medical facility; access

HB 2879 prohibits Arizona healthcare providers from sharing patient medical records or granting access to medical facilities for immigration enforcement purposes, directly affecting patients (especially immigrant communities), providers, and federal immigration agencies. The bill allows exceptions only if a patient signs a written authorization, a neutral magistrate issues a valid search warrant, or a subpoena is served under existing law. It explicitly defines "immigration enforcement" to include all federal efforts investigating or penalizing immigration status, employment, or entry into the U.S. The law aims to protect patient privacy by preventing healthcare settings from being used for immigration investigations. This bill does not alter existing medical privacy laws but adds specific restrictions for immigration-related requests.
