The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current Arizona statutes regarding immigration enforcement, specifically section 11-1051. It would insert a requirement that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S. ICE) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection (U.S. CBP) be immediately notified when a person unlawfully present in the United States is arrested by state or local law enforcement for a violation of state or local law. This addition aims to enhance communication between state law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.

Additionally, the bill would make several technical and conforming changes to existing language. It would clarify that no state or local agency can limit the enforcement of federal immigration laws beyond what is allowed by federal law, and it would adjust the language regarding the determination of immigration status during lawful stops, detentions, or arrests. The bill also includes provisions for civil penalties against entities that violate these requirements and ensures that law enforcement officers are indemnified against costs incurred in related legal actions, provided they acted in good faith.
