An Act amending Title 44 (Law and Justice) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for enforcement of civil immigration law and for prohibited use of funds.

Summary

The bill adds a new chapter to Pennsylvania law that tells State Police they may not stop, search, or detain someone solely because of that person’s immigration status or an immigration warrant. Officers may only share information with federal immigration agencies after the encounter ends and cannot use immigration status to extend detention. The rules apply to drivers, passengers, victims and witnesses in police interactions.
