The resolution proposes the establishment of an eleven-member Immigrant Impact Task Force in Rhode Island, tasked with tracking and overseeing immigration enforcement and support actions within the state. The task force will consist of members appointed by the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, the Governor, the Lt. Governor, and representatives from organizations that assist immigrants. Its primary objectives include documenting federal immigration enforcement practices, assessing the impact of state laws on immigrant populations, evaluating the support provided to these communities, and ensuring language access for non-English speakers.
The task force is required to report its findings and recommendations to the General Assembly by January 5, 2027, and will be dissolved on March 5, 2027. It will have the authority to gather information from state agencies and will not receive compensation for its members' services.
