Speakers:

The Senate Judiciary Committee heard House Bill 9 (the "Immigrant Safety Act") and House Bill 50 (Social Work Licensure Interstate Compact). Lawmakers debated HB9's prohibition on public bodies entering into ICE detention agreements, weighing detainee welfare and legal risk against economic impacts on rural counties; both bills received a committee recommendation to pass (HB9: due pass 5-3; HB50: due pass, unopposed).
