This bill proposes several updates to current statutes regarding immigration enforcement in Arizona. It amends sections 11-1051 and 13-901 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically by assigning the responsibility of notifying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to both the convicting court and the state or local agency that discharges a person from imprisonment or assesses a monetary obligation if that person is unlawfully present in the United States. Additionally, it establishes that individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. and convicted of state or local law violations are ineligible for probation.

The bill also clarifies that the immigration status of such individuals can be determined by authorized law enforcement officers or directly by U.S. ICE. It removes the requirement for notification to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and makes technical changes to existing language. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the enforcement of federal immigration laws at the state level while ensuring that local agencies are actively involved in the process.
