The legislation includes provisions related to undocumented immigrants and visa overstays with a delayed repeal clause.
What changed
Arizona Senate Bill 1520 creates a new framework requiring state agencies to share immigration-related data, including information on undocumented immigrants and visa overstays. The bill passed with a 16-12-2 vote in the Senate and received House Committee of the Whole approval on April 1, 2026, after a "strike everything" amendment by the House Public Safety & Law Enforcement Committee.
State agencies subject to Title 41 must review and update their data sharing policies and compliance procedures to align with the new requirements. Implementation timelines and any delayed repeal dates should be monitored as the bill moves toward full enactment. Affected agencies should coordinate with legal counsel to assess operational impact.
What to do next
- Review agency data sharing policies for compliance with new immigration data requirements
- Coordinate with legal counsel on implementation of Title 41 data sharing provisions
- Monitor for further amendments or implementing regulations following passage
