HB 10 · 2023-2024 · Introduced in Senate
Require ICE Cooperation & Budget Adjustments.
What It Actually Does
This is primarily a comprehensive budget bill with hundreds of millions in appropriations for education, healthcare, broadband, and other programs, with ICE cooperation requirements being just one component.
The bill contains massive budget appropriations including $248 million for opportunity scholarships, $277 million for Medicaid adjustments, $215 million for education reserves, broadband infrastructure funding, capital projects, and numerous other budget items across multiple state agencies. The ICE cooperation requirements, while present, constitute a small fraction of the bill's content and impact.
Why the name is misleading
The title suggests a focused bill on immigration enforcement with minor budget adjustments, when in reality this is a major budget bill where ICE cooperation is just one of many diverse provisions.
