This bill addresses immigration policy and how communities handle immigration-related issues, though the specific provisions are not yet detailed in publicly available summaries. The bill has been sent to two congressional committees—Judiciary and Homeland Security—to review different parts of the proposal based on their areas of responsibility. Once the committees complete their review, Congress will decide whether to move forward with voting on the measure.
