Kentucky HB76 mandates that individuals in custody cannot be released until they provide proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence.
Kentucky HB76 introduces a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes to ensure that individuals in custody cannot be considered verified and eligible defendants, released on their own recognizance, or administratively released until they provide proof of U.S. citizenship or lawful presence. If a person in custody cannot provide such proof, the facility holding them must notify the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The individual must be released within 48 hours if they are not a flight risk or danger to the public.
