ArizonaBill would require Arizona agencies to share immigration-status data with the federal government
Arizona and its agencies would have to share any data the federal government asks for about unauthorized immigrants or people who overstay a visa, until the rule ends after 2028.
What it does
Arizona and every state agency would have to share data the U.S. government requests about unauthorized aliens, undocumented immigrants, or people who overstay a visa in the state.
The data-sharing rule would end after December 31, 2028, unless lawmakers extend it.
Argument forClear sharing of requested records could help federal officials get information they need quickly, with a built-in end date that lets lawmakers review the policy later.
Argument againstThe wording covers "any data" and overrides other laws, so it may require sharing private information about immigrants and could conflict with state privacy protections.
More detail
The state and its agencies would be required to share any data the federal government requests about a person's status or related information. It covers requests about unauthorized aliens, undocumented immigrants, and anyone who overstays a visa in Arizona. The duty applies "notwithstanding any other law," so it would override other laws that limit sharing.
The new data-sharing section would be repealed, meaning it would stop having effect, after the end date. It applies only to the new data-sharing section this bill would add. The section would be repealed from and after December 31, 2028.
