Proposition 200, a referendum passed in 2004 with 56% of the vote, requires individuals to produce proof of citizenship when registering to vote and applying for public benefits in Arizona. The proposition also makes it a misdomeanor for city officials to fail to report undocumented immigrants that apply for these benefits.

The law is scheduled to go into effect on November 22, 2004, the date on which the vote tally will be officially canvassed.

The City Council of Phoenix, AZ has already declared that the city will pay to defend any city employee charged for failing to report an undocumented worker.

A substantial legal battle is expected to erupt over the precise definition of "public benefits."
