State Legislature Bills

This bill creates an Arizona DPS coordination program to share intelligence and run joint operations on unlawful border crossings, cartel activity, and human trafficking, while requiring quarterly reports.

This bill gives temporary cost-of-living relief in Arkansas by cutting the state sales tax on groceries by 1 percentage point for 12 months and reducing passenger vehicle registration fees by 15 percent.

This bill would push Florida police, jails, and employers to cooperate more closely with federal immigration enforcement by honoring lawful detainer requests when possible and requiring E-Verify for many employers.

This bill requires Florida state and local governments, including law enforcement, to use best efforts to cooperate with federal immigration authorities on identification, detention, transfer, and lawful status checks.

This bill would block South Dakota state agencies from helping carry out any new federal land-use or environmental rules affecting farmland, grazing, water use, or private property unless the Legislature specifically approves it or a court orders it. It frames that cooperation as a state-level choice and emphasizes local control and property rights.

This bill speeds up approval for workforce housing near job centers and existing transit corridors in Hawaii, while requiring a meaningful share of units for modest-income households and compliance with building, environmental, and infrastructure rules.

This bill would require South Carolina state and local agencies to cooperate with lawful federal immigration detainers and information-sharing requests, while banning local sanctuary-style policies that limit that cooperation.

This bill requires Arizona state and local law enforcement to cooperate with lawful federal border enforcement, raises penalties for organized human smuggling and repeat offenses, and creates a fund to reimburse border counties for public safety and infrastructure costs tied to unlawful migrant traffic.
