What A 3844 does, verified January 8, 2026

The proposed law aims to enhance public safety by imposing stricter conditions on individuals without permanent residency status who commit crimes against certain uniformed workers. It requires courts to issue securing orders committing non-US citizens or non-permanent residents to the custody of the sheriff if they are charged with crimes against specific groups, such as police officers or firefighters. These orders cannot be revoked until the completion of judicial proceedings related to the crime. The law will take effect 30 days after it becomes a law.
