Public safety; creating the Oklahoma Public Safety and Immigration Enforcement Act. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 865, the Oklahoma Public Safety and Immigration Enforcement Act, requires Oklahoma law enforcement and the Department of Corrections to use a new Secure Interagency Collaboration Platform to identify and report suspected unauthorized immigrants to federal immigration authorities (like ICE). The bill mandates that law enforcement agencies report arrests of suspected unauthorized immigrants through this platform and that the Department of Corrections screen inmates for immigration status, notifying federal authorities when confirmed. Key mechanisms include integrating agency databases for real-time tracking, automated alerts when unauthorized immigrants are identified in the criminal justice system, and mandatory training for participating agencies. Non-compliance could result in administrative penalties, and the bill authorizes seeking federal funding for implementation. It becomes effective July 1, 2025.
