Arizona lawmakers are advancing SB1520, legislation co-sponsored by Senator Mark Finchem to strengthen coordination between state agencies and federal immigration authorities.
SB1520 requires state agencies to share relevant immigration status information with federal partners, ensuring that enforcement efforts are supported by accurate and timely data across jurisdictions.
The legislation eliminates communication gaps that can hinder enforcement and ensures that agencies are working together to uphold immigration law consistently and effectively.
Senator Finchem co-sponsored SB1520 as part of a broader effort to reinforce border security, strengthen cooperation with federal authorities, and ensure Arizona remains aligned with national immigration enforcement priorities.
The bill advanced in the Arizona House on April 1, continuing its movement through the legislative process.
