House Bill 1804
What does it say? HB 1804 makes it criminal to transport, hire, harbor, house or conceal illegal immigrants. It also requires local law enforcement agencies to check immigration status. The law will effectively end state-sponsored benefits for those who can't prove they are legally in the U.S.

What's ahead? The law takes effect Thursday, but the legal fight continues. An Interfaith Vigil of Prayer and Solidarity for Undocumented Persons is planned for 6 to 6:45 p.m. Thursday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2706 S Shartel.
