Requires a State political subdivision (for example, a city or county) that maintained certain defined “sanctuary” laws or practices to return federal grant money it received but did not obligate while those rules were in place. The definition of “sanctuary” covers local limits on sharing immigration or citizenship information with federal authorities or refusal to comply with certain Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requests.
The rule only reaches funds received beginning in the fiscal year that is the fifth full fiscal year before the Act’s effective date, excludes one specified crime‑control grant program, and allows a short corrective grace period that can temporarily suspend the repayment requirement if the subdivision fixes the issue quickly.
Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
