The Arizona Republic reports:
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a public hearing today on a bill that would require hospitals to check patients’ immigration status.
It’s called sb1405, and here are a few highlights:
1. It would require hospitals to confirm an individual is a legal resident before admitting him or her for non-emergency care.
2. The hospital would have to notify federal immigration officers if the individual was not in the country legally.
3. It would allow hospitals to provide emergency care to illegal immigrants, but it would require them to report the individuals once the care was completed.
