Overview: HCM 2002, "CAIR; terrorist organization; urging designation", is a prefiled concurrent memorial that calls for the U.S. government to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a terrorist organization.
Purpose and Intent: The memorial expresses the Arizona Legislature's view that CAIR is a terrorist organization that "promotes an anti-American, anti-Semitic agenda and supports terrorist organizations." It urges the U.S. Secretary of State and Congress to officially designate CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization.
Key Provisions:
- Declares that CAIR is a terrorist organization that "undermines the national security of the United States and the security of the citizens of this state"
- Calls on the U.S. Secretary of State and Congress to designate CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization
- Directs the Secretary of State to transmit copies of the memorial to the President, Secretary of State, and members of Congress
Affected Parties and Impacts: If enacted, this memorial could lead to CAIR being officially designated as a terrorist organization, which could result in significant legal and financial consequences for the organization and its supporters.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: As a concurrent memorial, this bill does not require the Governor's signature and would be transmitted directly to the U.S. Secretary of State and Congress upon passage by the Arizona Legislature.
