Bill > SB0040

This bill creates the Developing Effective Policies on Orderly Removal and Transportation (DEPORT) task force, which will be a temporary body focused on developing policies related to immigration enforcement. The task force will consist of 15 members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, including representatives from the state legislature, law enforcement (such as state police, sheriffs, and police chiefs), local government officials, prosecutors, and individuals with expertise in drug and human trafficking. The task force's primary responsibilities include making recommendations to the legislature on policies to facilitate the deportation of illegal immigrants, develop training and guidance for law enforcement agencies in handling interactions with illegal immigrants, and encourage cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The members will not receive compensation and will be required to produce a preliminary report within one month of appointment and a final report within one year. The task force's writings will be exempt from freedom of information act disclosure, and it may seek legal counsel and accept grants or donations. After completing its one-year mission, the task force will be automatically abolished.
