AI Summary

This bill prohibits state and local governmental entities and officials from adopting "sanctuary policies" - which are defined as policies that limit or prohibit communication with federal immigration authorities, grant unlawful presence rights, or restrict cooperation with federal detainers. The bill authorizes law enforcement agencies to communicate with federal officials about immigration status and negotiate agreements to enforce federal immigration laws. The bill also states that it must be implemented consistently with federal law, without considering race or national origin. If a local government entity is found in violation, they become ineligible for certain state economic development grants until the sanctuary policy is repealed.
