AI Summary

This bill prohibits postsecondary educational institutions (which include state universities and private colleges that receive state or federal funding) from enacting or implementing any ordinance, resolution, rule, or policy that restricts employees from communicating or cooperating with federal officials, sending or receiving information from the Department of Homeland Security, maintaining citizenship or immigration status information, or exchanging information with other government entities regarding an individual's immigration status.
