Law enforcement officers and agencies; local law enforcement involvement with immigration and cooperation with federal authorities; repeal provisions
House Second Readers
Summary
The measure replaces Georgia’s current statutes that tie local police to federal immigration enforcement with a new process that lets designated officials issue certification forms for victims of qualifying crimes seeking U or T visas. It also removes several existing requirements about immigration status verification, sanctuary policies, and reporting on foreign‑born inmates, while allowing limited information sharing with federal immigration authorities. The changes affect local law‑enforcement agencies, prosecutors, immigration victims, and the state Attorney General.
