Bill > SB865

This bill creates the Oklahoma Public Safety and Immigration Enforcement Act, which establishes a Secure Interagency Collaboration Platform (SICP) to enhance communication and data sharing among state law enforcement agencies, the Department of Corrections, and federal immigration authorities like ICE. The platform will integrate databases to track individuals, with a specific focus on identifying and tracking unauthorized immigrants within the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies will be required to report arrests of suspected unauthorized immigrants and provide biometric data, while the Department of Corrections must screen individuals entering correctional facilities and notify federal immigration authorities about confirmed unauthorized immigrants. The Office of Management and Enterprise Services will develop and oversee the SICP, implementing advanced security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure privacy compliance. Participating agencies must receive training on the platform's use, and those failing to comply may face administrative penalties. The bill authorizes the Department of Corrections and the Office of Management and Enterprise Services to seek federal grants and other funding sources to implement the act. The legislation is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, with an emergency clause indicating its immediate importance for public safety.
