Three bills designed to protect immigrants, reintroduced after they were vetoed by former Gov. Phil Murphy before he left office in December, were reported out of a state Assembly committee February 12.
The Assembly Public Safety and Preparedness Committee – chaired by Franklin resident Assemblyman Joe Danielsen (D-12) – advanced the bills, which aim to strike a balance between individual privacy, due process rights, and public safety by defining the role state, county and local agencies play in relation to federal immigration authorities, limiting data collection by government and health entities, and ensuring law enforcement officers are easily identifiable, according to a press release from Assembly Democrats.
