Agency official says immigration reform to include partnership with federal government in special session agenda
Summary
A state agency official said immigration reform that would "allow us to partner with the federal government" is the third priority for the Tennessee General Assembly's special session; the announcement offered no legislative language or specifics on what partnership would entail.
An agency official announced that immigration reform designed to enable cooperation with the federal government is the third item the Tennessee General Assembly will consider in a special session this week.
The speaker said the reforms would "allow us to partner with the federal government in upcoming immigration issues," but did not describe the specific policy changes, statutory language, intergovernmental agreements or operational details that would govern such a partnership.
The speaker presented the immigration item alongside the Education Freedom Act and disaster relief for Northeast Tennessee and said the three topics have broad public support, though no supporting polls or figures were cited in the announcement.
No implementation timeline, committee referrals or proposed statutory text were provided in the statement.
