House Bill 42 would require certain agencies, including school districts, to collect and report data concerning the citizenship or immigration status of persons with whom they come into contact. An amendment requires law enforcement agencies to collect and maintain citizenship status from “those detained” to “those arrested.” It is being heard in the House Government Oversight Committee – calls to our legislators are needed!
