If enacted, this bill would amend current Arizona statutes to mandate that the Governor, Attorney General, and all counties, cities, and towns in Arizona must enforce, administer, and cooperate with federal immigration laws until January 19, 2029. Specifically, it would insert new provisions requiring local governments to comply with federal immigration actions and programs, as well as repeal existing provisions that would otherwise allow for the cessation of such enforcement after the specified date. The bill also includes a statement of legislative findings that emphasizes the perceived public safety crisis related to immigration enforcement, as articulated by voters in Proposition 314.

Additionally, the bill would make several technical changes to existing statutes, including the repeal of certain sections that are no longer applicable after the new provisions take effect. It would also clarify the roles and responsibilities of the Attorney General in relation to immigration law enforcement. Overall, the bill aims to strengthen the state's commitment to federal immigration enforcement and align state actions with federal directives, reflecting the legislative intent to address concerns raised by voters regarding border security and public safety.
