Requires local governments to comply with federal detainer requests and not interfere with federal enforcement activities in jails, backed by state monitoring, a noncompliance list, and withholding of state funding, so more immigration enforcement.
The comptroller shall, prior to the disbursement or delivery of any state funds, to a county, city, town or village, or any agency, office, department or authority thereof, verify that the receiving entity has not been determined to be in violation of this section

This expands the scope of state and local immigration enforcement. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
