HB 1251 -- JOINT COMMITTEE ON TERRORISM, BIOTERRORISM, AND
HOMELAND SECURITY

SPONSOR:  Komo

COMMITTEE ACTION:  Voted "do pass" by the Special Committee on
Immigration by a vote of 5 to 0.

This bill requires the Joint Committee on Terrorism,
Bioterrorism, and Homeland Security to study the feasibility of
creating a state agency to compile information relevant to
immigration enforcement issues.  The committee's expiration date
is extended to December 31, 2008.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2008, FY 2009, and
FY 2010.

PROPONENTS:  Supporters say that there is no central
clearinghouse for gathering information on immigration issues in
Missouri, and the bill will authorize a study on whether an
agency is needed.

Testifying for the bill was Representative Komo.

OPPONENTS:  There was no opposition voiced to the committee.
