This bill proposes several updates to current Arizona statutes regarding immigration and related penalties. It would repeal Title 11, Chapter 7, Article 8, and sections 13-1509, 13-2928, 13-2929, and 41-1724 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Additionally, it amends sections 12-116.04, 13-2319, 13-3883, 23-212, 23-212.01, 23-214, and 28-3511, making various changes to the language and requirements within these sections.
Key amendments include adjustments to penalty assessments, where specific dollar amounts are updated (e.g., changing "thirteen dollars" to "$13" and "eight dollars" to "$8"). The bill also modifies the conditions under which employers must verify employment eligibility through the e-verify program and clarifies the process for handling complaints against employers who allegedly employ unauthorized aliens. Notably, it removes provisions related to entrapment defenses and certain enforcement measures, streamlining the legal framework surrounding immigration enforcement in Arizona.
