HB 1060 Citizenship of arrestee; if accused is not committed to jail, arresting officer to ascertain.
Introduced by: Richard L. Anderson | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Arresting officer to ascertain citizenship of arrestee. Supplements the existing law that requires sheriffs to make a query into legal presence when a person is "taken into custody" at a jail. This bill expands such inquiries by requiring that an arresting officer inquire of every arrestee whether he is in the country legally. The bill further provides that when a law-enforcement officer believes that the person is not legally present in the United States, he shall communicate to the judicial officer the facts and circumstances underlying his belief.
