CRIME/PUNISHMENT: Prohibits any act intended to hinder, delay, prevent, or otherwise interfere with or thwart federal immigration enforcement efforts. (8/1/25) (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

Removed the full list of co-sponsors, reducing the bill from being sponsored by over a dozen legislators to being sponsored solely by Senator Morris.

Deleted the entire original text of Section 1, which previously provided specific legal definitions and penalty structures for the crime of obstruction of justice.

Replaced the detailed legal text of Section 1 with a high-level summary paragraph that broadly prohibits acts intended to interfere with federal immigration enforcement.

Updated Section 2 (Malfeasance in office) to explicitly include refusing a lawful request for cooperation from federal immigration agencies as a specific act of malfeasance.

Removed the specific penalty clauses (fines and imprisonment terms) for obstruction of justice that were previously listed in the deleted Section 1 text.

Added a new crime of obstruction of justice specifically for acts intended to hinder, delay, or thwart federal immigration enforcement efforts.

Established penalties for obstructing immigration-related obstruction: up to $5,000 fine and one year imprisonment for civil proceedings, and up to $1,000 fine and six months imprisonment for obstructing official acts of government agents.

Modified the definition of malfeasance in office to include knowingly refusing to cooperate with federal immigration agencies or releasing individuals without notifying them of their immigration status.

Clarified that local law enforcement must comply with federal requests to release individuals into federal custody if those individuals are alleged to have illegally entered or remained in the United States.

Changed the document status from 'Reengrossed' to 'Enrolled' and added additional Representatives to the list of bill sponsors.

Fixed a deletion error where lines defining the requirement to notify federal immigration agencies before releasing an individual were removed from the text.

Updated page numbering from 'Page 1 of 3' and 'Page 2 of 3' to 'Page 1 of 4' and 'Page 2 of 4' to reflect the corrected text length.

Changed the document title from 'ENGROSSED' to 'REENGROSSED' to accurately reflect the legislative stage.
