Summary of Legislation: (Amended) This bill provides that if a law enforcement officer arrests an
individual for a felony or a misdemeanor and there is probable cause to believe that the individual is not
lawfully present in the United States, the jail or detention facility shall notify the county sheriff of the
probable cause during the individual's intake process and the county sheriff shall notify the proper authority.
The bill provides that a law enforcement agency, including a county sheriff, or a law enforcement officer or
other employee of a law enforcement agency, is immune from civil liability if there is reasonable belief that
the notification requirements under this statute have been fulfilled.
Effective Date: July 1, 2025.

Explanation of State Revenues:
Explanation of Local Expenditures: Notifications: This bill requires law enforcement officers to make
certain notifications regarding an arrested individual during the intake process of a jail or detention facility.
It also requires sheriffs to notify immigration officials of information reported to them by arresting agencies.
This is likely to require adoption or modification of internal standard operating procedures. The bill’s
requirements constitute a workload increase, but any increase should be met within existing agency
resources.
Explanation of Local Revenues: Immunity: This bill provides that law enforcement officers and agencies
are immune from civil liability if they have reasonable belief that the requirements of this bill have been
fulfilled. This provision will not likely have a fiscal impact.
State Agencies Affected: Law enforcement agencies.
Local Agencies Affected: Law enforcement agencies.
