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 cover aspects such as detentions, removals, and investigations related to immigration. Additionally, the bill establishes a reporting requirement where sheriffs must update the Wyoming attorney general on the status of these agreements and any negotiations by October 1 of each year, starting in 2025.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that counties failing to enter into or attempt to enter into the required agreement 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 regarding the agreement will not face this penalty. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes.
