Summary
The measure requires state agencies to give hiring preference to U.S. citizens or nationals over equally qualified aliens, and bars agencies from sponsoring new H‑1B visas after July 1 2026 unless the attorney general approves the request. Agencies must also submit annual reports on any H‑1B sponsorships, which the attorney general will post online. Additionally, the state and its subdivisions may not fund services for individuals with unlawful status or entities that seek to challenge federal immigration enforcement, and private parties may sue for violations.
