AZ SB1337

Establishes the Arizona Border Guard as a volunteer organization under the Department of Public Safety to support and assist federal, state, and local law enforcement in securing the border with Mexico.

Authorizes the Arizona Border Guard to observe and report individuals engaging in cross-border criminal activity and support county and municipal leaders in combating international criminal activity.

Requires volunteer members to submit fingerprints for state and federal criminal background checks and meet eligibility requirements including Arizona residency, minimum age of 18, and no prior convictions for dangerous offenses, serious offenses, crimes against children, or drug trafficking offenses.

Clarifies that Arizona Border Guard members possess only the same law enforcement and investigative powers available to all citizens and do not have special police authority.

Renames Title 41, Chapter 40 from "Arizona Rangers" to "Law Enforcement Support and Assistance Groups" and designates existing provisions as Article 1 (Arizona Rangers) with the new Border Guard provisions as Article 2.
