Adopt policy restricting city contracts and investments based on sanctuary city values
In Plain English
Richmond would create new rules about which companies can receive city contracts or hold city investments. The policy would align spending with the city's sanctuary city status, which protects undocumented residents from federal immigration enforcement. If approved, the city reviews existing contracts and investments to ensure they meet these standards.
