House Resolution No. [insert number] proposes an amendment to Rule 52 of the Standing Rules of the House of Representatives concerning appropriations bills. The amendment stipulates that no appropriations bill or conference report containing a legislatively directed spending item can be voted on without proper disclosure of the sponsor, intended recipient, and a detailed description of the spending item. Additionally, it prohibits any appropriations bill or conference report from being brought to a vote if it includes a spending item for a municipality or university that has policies undermining federal immigration enforcement or that refuses to comply with federal immigration laws.
Furthermore, the resolution requires municipalities and universities to submit specific information regarding their rules and policies related to federal immigration law before any appropriations bill containing a spending item for them can be considered. This includes certification from the municipality's chief executive or the university's president affirming compliance with federal immigration law and the absence of policies that would obstruct immigration enforcement. The resolution aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the allocation of state funds, particularly concerning entities that may not align with federal immigration enforcement efforts.
