If enacted, this bill would introduce the "Secure Telecommunications Act of 2025," which amends current statutes by adding a new chapter to Title 18 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. The bill establishes strict requirements for the construction and operation of critical telecommunications infrastructure within Arizona, mandating that such infrastructure must not include equipment manufactured by foreign adversaries or federally banned corporations. It also requires the removal of any existing prohibited equipment and outlines specific definitions for terms such as "critical telecommunications infrastructure," "foreign adversary," and "telecommunications provider."

Additionally, the bill imposes registration and reporting obligations on telecommunications providers, including annual certifications to the Arizona Corporation Commission regarding compliance with the new requirements. Noncompliance would result in significant civil penalties and disqualification from receiving state or federal funding for telecommunications infrastructure projects. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2026, and aims to enhance the security of Arizona's telecommunications grid by eliminating potentially harmful equipment sourced from designated countries.
