Law Enforcement and Immigration Officer Identifying Information and Face Coverings

Summary

The bill creates a new "VISIBLE Act" that obligates any officer performing public immigration enforcement to display their agency name and badge number on the outside of their uniform, in lettering readable from at least 25 feet. It also bars those officers – and other law‑enforcement officers – from wearing masks, balaclavas or similar face coverings that hide their identity, except for medical masks or when safety or covert operations require it. The measure sets up reporting and enforcement mechanisms and would have taken effect after rulemaking, but it died in committee.
