                                          SECOND SESSION
                       LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 468
Introduced by Guereca, 7; Juarez, 5.
PURPOSE:       The purpose of this resolution is to conduct a study to examine
policies that could be enacted to provide assurances to immigrant communities
that    some   community     areas    would     be   safe    from   immigration     harassment   and
enforcement.
       In the 109th Legislature, Second Session, the Judiciary Committee held a
public hearing on LB 907, which would provide that in some community spaces
immigration      enforcement,      with   the    exception     of   the    execution   of    judicial
warrants,      would   not   be   conducted.     These      sensitive     areas   included   schools,
libraries, and other places of learning; hospitals, homeless shelters, and
other places of refuge; and courthouses and legal service providers.
       The study shall include, but need not be limited to, an examination of the
following:
       (1) How other states have provided assurances to immigrant communities by
enacting laws similar to LB 907.
       (2) What other states' attorneys general have done in issuing guidance to
schools and other sensitive areas on how to respond to federal immigration
authorities; and
       (3) What local governments have done across the country to provide similar
assistance to sensitive areas.
       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED NINTH
LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, SECOND SESSION:
       1. That the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature shall be designated to
conduct an interim study to carry out the purposes of this resolution.
       2. That the committee shall upon the conclusion of its study make a report
of its findings, together with its recommendations, to the Legislative Council
