Governors’ Right to Inspect Act of 2026

(a) Supplemental authority. The access granted to authorized oversight officials under this Act is supplemental to, and does not limit, any rights existing under—

(1) any State law providing health and safety inspection authority over private detention facilities; or

(2) any existing intergovernmental agreement between a State or locality and the Secretary.

(b) Federal supremacy. Nothing in this Act may be construed to permit a Governor or their designee to enforce State law within a covered facility in a manner that conflicts with Federal law or that interferes with Federal immigration enforcement operations.
