The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 11, Chapter 7, Article 8 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the responsibilities of county detention facilities regarding information sharing with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S. ICE). The bill mandates that county detention facilities must transmit personal identifying information, including the name, address, date of birth, gender, and social security number of individuals arrested for specified offenses, either daily or upon request from U.S. ICE. Additionally, it requires these facilities to provide photographs and physical descriptors of the arrested individuals and grant U.S. ICE access for interviews.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that county detention facilities are required to comply with any requests made by U.S. ICE, with certain exemptions for facilities where an ICE agent is stationed or where an employee is authorized to conduct immigration screenings. The definition of a "county detention facility" is also clarified to include any location used by a county sheriff's office for the confinement of individuals arrested for the outlined offenses. Overall, the bill aims to enhance cooperation between local detention facilities and federal immigration authorities.
