Ban “sanctuary county” policies

Introduced in the Senate

June 19, 2019

Introduced by Sen. Aric Nesbitt (R-26)

To prohibit counties from adopting or enforcing a policy that restricts officials or police from communicating or cooperating with appropriate federal officials concerning the status of illegal aliens. The state Attorney General would have to sue if a resident filed a complaint, and courts would have to issue an injunction on enforcement, order repeal, and award damages and costs to a party challenging the county actions.

Referred to the Committee on Government Operations
