Purpose and intent

  • The bill, by its title, proposes the imposition of securing orders for certain crimes committed by individuals without permanent residency status.
  • In the absence of full text, the bill appears to seek a statutory framework for court-issued orders (referred to as “securing orders”) tied to specific crimes involving non-permanent-resident individuals.
  • The goal is likely to enhance legal mechanisms available to address crimes committed by non-citizens lacking permanent residency status, potentially affecting criminal, protective, or civil-venue procedures.

Key provisions and changes (as implied by title)

  • Establishment or expansion of a procedure for issuing “securing orders” in connection with certain crimes and non-permanent residents.
  • Criteria defining which crimes trigger securing orders and which individuals qualify (i.e., non-permanent residents).
  • Roles for courts, law enforcement, and prosecutorial offices in issuing, enforcing, and monitoring these orders.
  • Possible links to penalties, conditions of release, housing or employment restrictions, or protective measures tied to the securing orders.
  • Provisions for notice, service, modification, and termination of orders, as well as avenues for appeal or review.
  • Interaction with existing criminal procedure, immigration considerations, or civil protections.

Note: The precise statutory text is not provided in the material given. The above reflects the typical elements such measures might include based on the bill’s title and committee designation.

Affected parties and entities

  • Individuals without permanent residency status who commit the crimes specified by the bill.
  • Courts (likely the criminal or family/protection docket, depending on the order type) in issuing and enforcing securing orders.
  • Law enforcement agencies responsible for enforcing the orders.
  • Prosecutors and defense attorneys involved in cases triggering these orders.
  • Potentially victims or civilian respondents who are protected by or subject to the orders.

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Current status: Referred to the codes committee (as of the introduction date). No further actions listed in the provided record.
  • The bill will follow the standard legislative process for the Assembly: committee review in CODES, potential amendments, floor consideration, and passage or amendment by the full chamber. If passed by the Assembly, it would proceed to the Senate as a companion bill (S 7242) or related actions.
  • Effective date: Not specified in the information provided; typical bills include an effective date if enacted.

Additional context

  • The existence of companion bills (S 7242) suggests parallel consideration in the Senate.
  • A 9189 is indicated as a prior-session related measure, which may offer context on the policy approach or previous iterations.

If you’d like, I can place this bill in the context of similar securing-order or non-citizen crime-related reforms, or compare it to the related A 9189 and S 7242 to highlight potential differences or evolution of the policy idea.
