Proposition 100 — This ballot measure, if approved by Arizona voters, would amend the Arizona constitution to prohibit bail for any person who is charged with a serious felony office (as determined by the Legislature) if the person charged is an undocumented immigrant and if the judge finds that the person is likely to be guilty of the charge.
Proposition 102 — This ballot measure, if approved by Arizona voters, would prohibit a person who wins a civil law suit from receiving punitive damages if the person is an undocumented immigrant.
Proposition 103 — This ballot measure, if approved by Arizona voters, would establish English as the official language of this state. It would require that all official actions conducted by the state be done in English, and allows businesses and individuals to enforce this requirement in court.
Proposition 300 — This ballot measure, if approved by Arizona voters, would deny access to state-funded services for undocumented immigrants. These services include adult education classes, in-state tuition, financial assistance for college, and child care assistance.
