Stalled
No legislative action in over 90 days.
274–145
Non-citizens with criminal records involving sex offenses, domestic violence, stalking, child abuse, or protection order violations are the primary target of this bill. Their criminal history would now more clearly trigger both inadmissibility and deportability. The bill also covers people who admit to committing these acts, even without a formal conviction, broadening the net beyond those with official criminal records.
