SB 22A — Combatting Illegal Immigration

Overview

  • Bill number: SB 22A
  • Title: Combatting Illegal Immigration
  • Subject: Crimes, criminal procedure and corrections, torts
  • Classification: Bill

The available information does not include the bill’s full text or specific operative provisions. Based on the title and subject area, the bill appears to address issues related to illegal immigration through criminal-law measures and related procedures or civil remedies. However, the actual statutory language and concrete changes are not provided here.

Purpose and intent (as inferred)

  • The title suggests the bill aimed to “combat” illegal immigration, potentially by imposing or adjusting criminal penalties, shaping criminal procedure or corrections processes, or addressing civil torts related to illegal immigration.
  • Precise goals, definitions (e.g., what acts would be criminalized or penalized), enforcement mechanisms, exemptions, and fiscal implications cannot be determined from the available information.

Status and timeline

  • Filed: January 26, 2025
  • Introduced: January 27, 2025
  • Referred to: Fiscal Policy (January 27, 2025)
  • Died in Committee: Fiscal Policy (January 27, 2025)

Summary of legislative trajectory: The bill was filed and introduced on January 26–27, 2025, immediately referred to the Fiscal Policy committee, and died in that committee the same day. As a result, SB 22A did not advance to further stages of consideration and would not become law in its current form.

Key provisions (not available)

  • The text of the bill is not provided here, so specific provisions, definitions, penalties, enforcement tools, funding mechanisms, or changes to criminal procedure, corrections, or tort law cannot be detailed.

Potential impact (high-level)

  • Direct impact: Given that the bill died in Fiscal Policy, it would not have had direct legal effect unless reintroduced and enacted in a subsequent session or amended into a new version.
  • Fiscal considerations: As it progressed through the committee stage within Fiscal Policy, any future version could raise questions about costs to government agencies, needed resources for enforcement, and potential budgetary implications. No fiscal note or cost analysis is available for SB 22A in the information provided.
  • Broader context: Bills with similar titles often seek enhanced enforcement, coordination with federal authorities, or civil remedies related to illegal immigration, but specifics would depend on the final text.

Next steps for readers

  • Check official legislative texts or the bill’s fiscal note in the appropriate legislative website for the full, enacted language and fiscal analyses.
  • Monitor for reintroduction or amendments in subsequent sessions, which could modify scope, penalties, or funding.
