This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that mandates the attorney general to establish policies aimed at limiting state assistance with immigration enforcement in specific public facilities. These facilities include public schools, community colleges, universities, licensed day care centers, public libraries, courts, and publicly funded medical treatment centers. The policies must ensure these locations remain safe and accessible to all residents, regardless of immigration status, and must incorporate constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Additionally, the bill requires the removal of any questions regarding citizenship or immigration status from applications or forms used by state agencies, public schools, community colleges, or universities within sixty days of the law's effective date. It also defines "immigration enforcement" to encompass various actions related to civil and federal immigration laws. The act is titled the "Immigration Safe Zones Act."
