This bill proposes significant updates to current Arizona statutes regarding the enforcement of federal immigration laws. Under the new provisions, both cities and counties in Arizona would be mandated to enforce, administer, and cooperate with federal actions, orders, and programs related to immigration laws. This requirement would remain in effect until January 19, 2029, after which the specific mandates for enforcement would be repealed. The bill also includes a statement of legislative findings that emphasizes the perceived public safety crisis due to immigration issues, as highlighted by the passage of Proposition 314 by Arizona voters.

Additionally, the bill makes various technical and conforming changes to existing statutes, including the repeal of certain sections that previously outlined similar requirements. It clarifies the roles of the Governor and Attorney General in relation to immigration enforcement, ensuring that they are actively involved in these efforts until the specified repeal date. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the state's commitment to federal immigration law enforcement while also reflecting the legislative intent expressed by voters in the recent election.
