HB 1303 increases penalties for certain criminal offenses related to unauthorized entry or presence in Texas by undocumented immigrants. It reclassifies some misdemeanors as felonies and introduces stricter penalties for repeat offenses or offenses involving individuals previously removed after specific convictions. The bill also limits the locations where peace officers may enforce these laws, such as health care facilities and forensic medical examination centers.
