Maddy summaryHB 305 amends several Ohio Revised Code sections to update definitions and restrict how public funds can be used by local governments and legal aid organizations.

Regards individuals unlawfully present; immigration enforcement

Maddy summaryHB 564 requires state and local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with federal immigration authorities by sharing arrestee information, detaining individuals suspected of being unlawfully present until federal custody is assumed, and participating in federal databases.
