Border warnings

HB 2586 (border warning; dissemination), sponsored by Rep. Peggy Judd (R-Willcox), requires the state director of homeland security to monitor "dangerous conditions in regard to illegal immigration activities" in the Arizona-Mexico border area and authorizes the director to disseminate such information to the public. The bill passed the House Committee of the Whole on March 2.

On Monday, March 12, the League, along with several southern Arizona city representatives, participated in a stakeholder meeting hosted by the bill's sponsor. Rep. Judd suggested an alternative approach to achieve her objective, but stakeholders prevailed upon her to abandon the effort altogether. As a consequence of the discussion, the bill will not move forward. The League thanks Rep. Judd for her time and responsiveness to constituent concerns.
