What S 1260 Does

Senate Bill 1260 — the Idaho Immigration Cooperation and Enforcement Act — amends existing law regarding illegal entry, removes certain provisions, and provides for affirmative defenses in immigration enforcement cases. The bill is designed to give Idaho law enforcement clearer tools for immigration enforcement cooperation.

This bill is distinct from HB 659, which required mandatory 287(g) ICE agreements and was killed in committee 4-5 in March. S 1260 takes a different statutory approach — amending illegal entry definitions rather than mandating federal cooperation agreements.

Sponsor: Sen. Todd Lakey (R-Nampa, District 10). Referred to: House Judiciary, Rules & Administration — passed with Do Pass recommendation March 19.
