The proposed bill, known as the Right to Know Act, mandates the State Police to create and maintain a publicly accessible database of undocumented immigrants who have been charged with or convicted of crimes. This database will specifically include individuals who are currently in custody within State, county, or municipal correctional facilities and lack valid documentation to remain in the United States.
The bill outlines that the database must contain specific information for each individual listed, including a photograph, details of the crime for which they were convicted or charged, and the location and date of their release from custody. This initiative aims to enhance public awareness regarding undocumented immigrants involved in criminal activities within the state. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
