Overview: Bill Number: LC 2019, Title: Prohibit harboring or assisting illegal aliens, Status: (LC) Draft Delivered to Requester, Introduced: November 27, 2024
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to prohibit the harboring or assisting of illegal aliens within the state. The legislation aims to crack down on the facilitation of illegal immigration and impose penalties on those who knowingly aid or conceal undocumented individuals.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits any person or entity from harboring or assisting an illegal alien, with exceptions for certain humanitarian aid
- Imposes civil and criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for violations
- Requires state and local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration authorities
- Authorizes the state attorney general to bring civil actions against violators
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily impact undocumented immigrants, as well as individuals and organizations that provide them with shelter, transportation, or other forms of assistance. It could lead to increased detentions and deportations, and may deter some from seeking essential services out of fear of repercussions.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: This bill is currently in the draft stage and has been delivered to the requester. The next steps would involve the formal introduction of the legislation, committee hearings, and potential amendments before any vote by the legislature.
