Overview: S 2728 was introduced in the Senate on September 04, 2025. The bill relates to prohibiting executive orders directing state police to not assist with the enforcement of federal laws.
Purpose and Intent: The primary goal of this bill is to prevent state executives from issuing orders that would restrict state law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal authorities in the enforcement of federal laws. The bill seeks to maintain coordination between state and federal law enforcement.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits the governor or any other state executive from issuing an order directing state or local police to not assist federal law enforcement in enforcing federal laws
- Allows the state legislature to override any such executive order with a simple majority vote
- Requires state and local law enforcement to comply with valid requests for assistance from federal authorities
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would impact state governors and other executive branch officials by limiting their ability to direct state law enforcement agencies. It could also affect state and local police departments, requiring them to cooperate with federal authorities in certain circumstances.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee for further consideration. If enacted, the prohibitions on executive orders and requirements for law enforcement cooperation would take immediate effect.
