Opportunity Scholarships, ICE cooperation bill heads to governor

(The Center Square) – Three Democrats joined 64 Republicans in passage Wednesday of legislation that both erases a student waiting list of 55,000 for Opportunity Scholarships, and requires sheriffs to cooperate with federal immigration law enforcement.

House Bill 10, known also as Require ICE Cooperation & Budget Adjustments, passed 67-43 and next goes to Gov. Roy Cooper. He’ll have 10 days to sign into law, allow to become law without his signature, or veto, the latter of which is a consensus forecast.
