HB 1430 Arresting officer to ascertain citizenship of arrestee; supplements existing law.

Introduced by: David B. Albo

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Arresting officer to ascertain citizenship of arrestee. Supplements the existing law that requires sheriffs to make a query into legal presence when a person is "taken into custody" at a jail.
