HB 1941 prohibits Tennessee state agencies from using state funds, personnel, or resources to support U.S. immigration and customs enforcement activities within the state. It specifically bans state involvement in federal immigration enforcement actions, such as conducting criminal investigations or enforcing immigration laws. The bill amends multiple Tennessee Code sections (Titles 4, 8, 9, 38, and 39) to implement this restriction. This policy change directly affects all state agencies and local governments that might otherwise coordinate with federal immigration authorities using state resources.
