Bill > HB1548

This bill aims to limit the involvement of state and local law enforcement agencies in federal immigration enforcement activities. It prohibits these agencies from using resources for immigration enforcement purposes, such as inquiring about immigration status, detaining individuals based on immigration warrants, or providing information to federal immigration authorities. The bill also requires the Attorney General to publish model policies for various public institutions, such as schools and health facilities, to limit their assistance with immigration enforcement. Additionally, the bill restricts postsecondary institutions from enacting policies that prohibit undocumented immigrants on their premises or relate to immigration enforcement. The bill's purpose is to maintain trust between immigrant communities and state/local agencies, protect constitutional rights, and direct limited resources to matters of greatest concern to state and local governments.
