AI Summary
This bill urges the Tennessee Department of Safety to conduct a comprehensive study on immigration enforcement, focusing on federal immigration laws, detentions, removals, and investigations within the state. The study aims to analyze immigration-related progress and challenges, providing insights into the current state of immigration activities. If the department chooses to conduct the study, it will be required to submit a detailed report, including its findings and recommendations, to the governor and the state's general assembly by January 1, 2026. The bill does not mandate the study but strongly encourages it, and it would take effect immediately upon becoming law. The legislation appears to be part of a broader effort to assess and potentially improve the state's approach to immigration enforcement and related issues.
