Withhold state funding for noncooperation with homeland security

Summary

SB 437 requires state and local employees to obey lawful requests from federal authorities under the USA Patriot Act, immigration or terrorism investigations, or presidential homeland‑security orders. Any city or town that passes an ordinance that materially hinders that cooperation loses eligibility for state homeland‑security funding until the ordinance is repealed. The measure is intended to ensure local governments do not impede federal security efforts.
