The Criminal Illegal Alien Enforcement Act.

Added requirement for facility administrators to determine if prisoners are legal residents when charged with specific offenses including felonies, certain misdemeanors, impaired driving, and violations of G.S. 50B-4.1.

Created new process requiring judicial review before releasing prisoners subject to immigration detainers and warrants, with a 48-hour holding period before release.

Established effective date of December 1, 2025, for offenses committed on or after that date.

Changed document format from amendment markup to complete bill text with new section numbering and structure.

Added specific list of Articles in Chapter 14 that trigger immigration status checks for prisoners.

Updated the list of offenses triggering immigration status checks to include Article 6A, Article 7B, and Article 8 of Chapter 14, replacing the previous more specific article listings.

Revised the notification requirements for prisoners held under immigration detainers to ensure proper legal process and timing for release notifications.

Removed committee metadata including session dates, sponsor information, and committee adoption dates that were present in the draft version but are not part of the final ratified bill.

Adjusted bill title section formatting to reflect 'RATIFIED BILL' status instead of 'Committee Substitute' designation.

Reorganized line breaks and spacing in the statutory text to improve readability while maintaining identical legal content.

Added explicit requirement that prisoners be transferred to ICE custody when an ICE officer appears at the facility and requests custody, replacing the previous language that only required holding prisoners for a two-hour query period.

Reorganized the judicial review process language to clarify that judicial officials must issue orders directing transfer to ICE custody when the prisoner matches the detainer, rather than just issuing holding orders.

Added Senate Judiciary Committee adoption date and updated version number from Edition 3 to Edition 4, indicating this is a revised committee substitute version.

Maintained the 48-hour release timeline but clarified that notification to ICE must occur no later than two hours before the prisoner would otherwise be released, with specific mention of the Department of Homeland Security form for notification.

The list of offenses triggering immigration detainer procedures was modified. Article 10, Article 10A, and Article 13A of Chapter 14 were removed, while Article 6A and Article 7B were added to the list of qualifying offenses.

The classification of offenses in the list was adjusted from 'Article 8' to 'Article 6A, Article 7B, or Article 8' in the context of Class A1 misdemeanors or felonies under Chapter 14.

Minor formatting changes including page number updates and edition markings were made to reflect the progression from Edition 2 to Edition 3 of the bill.

Changed the eligibility criteria from checking if a prisoner is a 'legal resident of the United States' to checking if they are a 'legal resident or citizen of the United States' to clarify who qualifies for immigration status checks.

Added new subsections to Section 1 that specify additional offenses triggering immigration status checks, including impaired driving violations and violations of G.S. 50B-4.1.

Added Section 2 requiring judicial officials to check immigration status for defendants during pretrial release determinations and to commit them to detention facilities for fingerprinting and immigration queries if status cannot be determined.

Modified notification requirements for facilities to notify immigration authorities about prisoner release timelines, changing from 'within two hours of the time when the prisoner would otherwise be released' to 'no later than two hours after the time when the prisoner would otherwise be released'.

Removed duplicate and conflicting text from the original bill that appeared in both the main body and a separate section, consolidating the provisions into a single coherent version.
