Bill > HB4472

This bill establishes the Developing Effective Policies on Orderly Removal and Transportation (DEPORT) task force, which will be a temporary committee 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, representing diverse roles including state legislators, law enforcement officials, county and city leaders, and experts 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 for law enforcement agencies in interacting with illegal immigrants, and encourage cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The task force is required to provide a preliminary report within one month of appointment and a final report within one year, with the option to offer additional recommendations. Members will serve without compensation, and the task force's documents will be exempt from public disclosure under freedom of information laws. The task force will be automatically dissolved one year after its members are appointed, ensuring it remains a focused, time-limited initiative to address immigration enforcement policies at the state level.
