SB1520: State Agencies Sharing Immigration Data

This bill would require Arizona state agencies to share requested data about unauthorized aliens and visa overstays with the federal government until December 31, 2028.

What This Bill Does

  • States that this requirement applies even if other laws might prevent it.
  • Sets a deadline for the law to end on December 31, 2028.

Who It Names or Affects

  • Arizona state agencies
  • The United States government
  • Unauthorized aliens in Arizona
  • Individuals who have overstayed their visas

Proposed

Plain English: This amendment replaces the original bill to create a new $1 million fund that gives money to fire stations for buying kitchen equipment and supplies.

  • Creates a new 'Arizona Fire Service Station Equipment Fund' managed by the state department of public safety.
  • Provides grants to local fire districts, tribal governments, and cities specifically for purchasing kitchen items like stoves or refrigerators.
  • Requires that at least 25% of all grant money must go directly to fire districts.
  • Sets aside $1 million from the state budget in fiscal year 2026-2027 to start this fund.
  • The original bill was about immigration data sharing, but this amendment completely removes that topic and replaces it with a plan for fire station kitchens.
  • The text does not explain exactly how the department will choose which applicants get money or what specific kitchen items are allowed.
