The Beat Goes On: State Laws Related to Immigrants and Immigration: Jan. 1 – June 30, 2008

By immigrationprof

A National Conference of State Legislatures report documents that  “State legislatures continue tackling immigration in a variety of policy arenas at an unprecedented rate. So far this year, 1267 bills have been considered in 45 state legislatures and at least 175 laws and resolutions have been enacted in 39 states. A total of 190 bills and resolutions have passed legislatures, 12 bills are pending Governor’s approval and three bills were vetoed. The 2008 level of activity is comparable to the same time last year, when 1404 bills and resolutions were considered in all fifty states, and 182 laws were enacted in 43 states.”
