The Senate version of this bill contains several provisions related to rural areas of the state. Most notably, the bill establishes the Office of Rural Prosperity in the Department of Commerce, designed for "helping rural stakeholders navigate available programs and resources and representing rural interests across state government." The bill also creates several grant programs specifically for rural communities, such as the Rural Access to Primary and Preventive Care Grant Program and Stroke, Cardiac, and Obstetric Response and Education Grant Program, as well as providing student loan repayment for teachers in rural areas under the Rural Incentive for Professional Educators Program. Taxpayers in urban areas should not be forced to subsidize the amenities of individuals who choose to locate in rural or other portions of the state.

This bill contains several provisions related to illegal immigration. Most notably, the bill creates the State Board of Immigration Enforcement and establishes the "Local Law Enforcement Immigration Grant Program" to reimburse local law enforcement agencies for expenses in assisting in federal immigration enforcement, as well as for bonuses of up to $1,000 per officer who participates in federal immigration enforcement operations. The bill also establishes special sentencing requirements for illegal immigrant gang members who commit, or attempt to commit, a felony. Under the bill, if the felony is punishable by life in prison, courts must impose that sentence. The bill requires a sentence of 30, 15, or 5 years, for first, second, and third-degree felonies, respectively. Additionally, the bill establishes a rebuttable presumption against pretrial release for illegal immigrants charged with a forcible felony. The bill also requires 100% of the sentence be served before the person may be released. The bill also expands the classification increases for offenses committed by illegal immigrants to now also include misdemeanors, rather than only felonies. Other provisions in the bill include making it a third-degree felony for an illegal immigrant to knowingly vote, expanding the prohibition on state and local sanctuary policies, requiring county jails to provide a list of inmates and their immigration status to federal immigration agencies upon request, prohibiting illegal immigrants from receiving out-of-state fee waivers at state universities and other schools, prohibiting the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles from issuing driver's licenses or identification cards to illegal immigrants, and creating the "Unauthorized Alien Transport Program" to facilitate the transportation of illegal immigrants upon request from ICE. Finally, the bill appropriates over $298.8 million for the various provisions in the bill, as well as to improve enforcement efforts. Ensuring public safety and national defense is arguably the most important role of government. Failure to secure our nation's border and deport those residing in the country unlawfully not only has catastrophic implications on the ability to maintain law and order, but also creates countless other issues, ranging from welfare to the education system.

This bill strengthens property rights by allowing property owners to have an unauthorized individual removed by law enforcement from their property. The bill also expands the crimes of criminal mischief and fraudulent sale or lease of residential property to now also include commercial property.
