Abstract
The bill proposed a private cause of action that allowed citizens to sue municipal governments for enacting “sanctuary” policies that barred city or county employees from cooperating with federal immigration enforcement officials. If found in violation of the state ban on such policies, all non-emergency state funds and federal funds administered by the state would be withdrawn. Also, eligible members of the governing body could be suspended without pay by the Governor upon the recommendation of the Board of Community Affairs. Finally, governing bodies and their members found in violation would have their sovereign immunity waived for all causes of action during the pendency of the violating policies.
