Bill > S1993

This bill, known as the "Reimbursements for Immigration Partnerships with Police to allow Local Enforcement Act of 2025" or the "RIPPLE Act of 2025", amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow the Attorney General to provide financial reimbursement to states and local governments for wages and overtime pay of employees who perform immigration enforcement functions under a specific agreement. Specifically, the bill would enable state and local law enforcement agencies to be compensated for the salaries and overtime of officers who are tasked with carrying out federal immigration enforcement duties through existing cooperation agreements. The reimbursement would cover standard wages as defined in the Internal Revenue Code and overtime compensation as defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act. This legislation aims to support state and local agencies in their collaboration with federal immigration enforcement efforts by offsetting the financial burden of these additional responsibilities.
