Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill requires law enforcement officers to take specific actions when arresting a person who is in possession of a firearm and is not a citizen. If an officer arrests someone for a crime and finds they are carrying a firearm, the officer must first ask about the person's citizenship status. If the arrested individual is determined to be a noncitizen, the officer is then mandated to immediately contact federal immigration authorities (specifically U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE) and provide detailed information about the arrested person, including their name and the crime for which they were arrested. The officer is also required to cooperate with any subsequent immigration investigation that may result from this notification. This bill effectively overrides existing Oregon statutes (ORS 181A.820 and 181A.822 to 181A.829) that may have previously limited such interactions between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, and creates a new protocol for handling firearms possession by noncitizens during criminal arrests.
