AZ SB1263

Replaces the term "alien" with "immigrant" throughout Arizona Revised Statutes in sections related to immigration, employment, licensing, health care, and public benefits.

Updates employment laws to prohibit both knowing and intentional employment of unauthorized immigrants, with penalties including business license suspension or revocation.

Modifies eligibility requirements for professional licenses (osteopathic medicine, child care facilities) and public benefits to reference "immigrants" instead of "aliens" while maintaining citizenship and legal residency verification standards.

Changes terminology in immigration enforcement sections (sections 11-1051, 13-2928, 13-2929) while preserving law enforcement authority to verify immigration status and cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Updates definitions and references in health care programs (AHCCCS, workers' compensation) and other state services to use consistent "immigrant" terminology for both documented and undocumented individuals.
