The bill mandates that each county sheriff in Wyoming must negotiate and enter into a written agreement with the United States attorney general for the enforcement of federal immigration and customs laws, as outlined in 8 U.S.C. 1357(g). This agreement must be made in consultation with the board of county commissioners and is required to be signed by both parties. Additionally, the bill establishes a reporting requirement where county sheriffs must provide updates to the Wyoming attorney general by October 1 each year regarding the status of these agreements, including any reasons for noncompliance or declines from the attorney general.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that counties failing to enter into the required agreements will be ineligible for state-administered federal funds related to law enforcement and training for each fiscal year of noncompliance. However, counties that report a decline from the United States attorney general will not face this penalty. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes.
