Texas · 90th Legislature Regular Session
HB1086Relating to prohibiting the provision or use of public money to fund certain legal services for aliens unlawfully present in the United States; providing a civil penalty.
Prohibits governmental entities from funding legal representation, immigrant legal orientation programs, or legal defense funds for aliens unlawfully present, and imposes penalties for violations, so less state and local support for immigration legal services.
A governmental entity may not provide, by contract, loan, grant, or otherwise, public money to any person for the purpose of funding any of the following if used to assist an alien unlawfully present in the United States: (1) legal representation for immigration-related matters; (2) the administration of immigrant legal orientation programs; or (3) a legal defense fund.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill bars use of public funds for specified immigration legal services to unlawfully present aliens and adds enforcement mechanisms including investigations, reimbursement requirements, license suspensions, and civil penalties. This expands the scope of state and local immigration enforcement by limiting government-supported assistance in immigration matters.
