Plain-English Summary

This bill requires various law enforcement agencies, including state, county, and municipal police, to create policies for cooperating with federal immigration authorities. If a law enforcement officer is sued for actions taken while cooperating with immigration authorities, and the actions were not intentional or reckless, the State will defend and cover any settlements or judgments against the officer. This applies to officers whose duties include detecting, apprehending, arresting, and convicting offenders.
