LC 3094 is a legislative proposal that aims to make significant changes to laws and regulations regarding undocumented immigrants (referred to as "illegal aliens" in the bill text). The bill died in the legislative process and did not advance to a vote.
The main components of LC 3094 include:
Immigration Enforcement Expansion: The bill would have expanded the authority and responsibilities of state and local law enforcement agencies to investigate, detain, and report suspected undocumented immigrants. This includes requiring law enforcement to inquire about immigration status during any lawful stop or detention.
Penalties for Harboring Undocumented Immigrants: The bill proposed new criminal penalties for anyone who "harbors, shields, transports, or conceals" an undocumented immigrant, including fines up to $10,000 per violation.
Public Benefits Restrictions: LC 3094 would have prohibited undocumented immigrants from receiving most state and local public benefits, with limited exceptions. This includes barring access to driver's licenses, professional licenses, and public housing.
Mandatory E-Verify for Employers: The bill would have required all employers in the state to use the federal E-Verify system to confirm the immigration status of new hires.
If enacted, LC 3094 would have significantly increased state-level enforcement and restrictions targeting undocumented immigrants. This could have led to greater detentions, deportations, and denial of public services for this population. The bill's provisions may also have created new legal liabilities for individuals and organizations that assist or interact with undocumented immigrants.
However, the bill did not advance beyond the drafting stage and therefore did not become law.
