Require law enforcement agencies, jails, and the Nebraska State Patrol to receive approval prior to entering into agreements to enforce immigration law

Summary

The bill would force any local police department, sheriff’s office, jail, or the Nebraska State Patrol to give written notice and obtain approval from the appropriate local governing body or state commission before entering into agreements to enforce immigration laws. It also requires public notice, a hearing, and reporting, and treats violations as breaches of the Open Meetings Act, allowing civil lawsuits. The measure failed and was indefinitely postponed.
