The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.
This bill mandates that peace officers notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or another federal agency within 12 hours when they arrest or detain someone determined to be unlawfully present in the United States. It empowers officers to detain individuals beyond their typical release time for this purpose. Additionally, the bill requires non-citizens to carry federal documentation proving their lawful presence if mandated by federal law. An offense is committed if an individual fails to provide this documentation, refuses to give truthful information, or provides false information when lawfully arrested or detained. Such offenses range from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor for repeat offenders or those providing false information. Peace officers may only request immigration documentation if there is reasonable suspicion or a legal obligation to verify immigration status. The Act will take effect Sept. 1, 2025.
