AI Summary
This bill, the "Schools Not Shelters Act," prohibits the use of public elementary schools, public secondary schools, or institutions of higher education that receive federal funding from the Department of Education to provide shelter or housing for aliens who have not been admitted into the United States. It defines key terms such as "applicable program," "elementary school," "secondary school," "Federal financial assistance," and "specified alien" to clarify the scope of the prohibition. The bill aims to prevent these educational facilities from being used as shelters for undocumented immigrants, with some exceptions for short-term emergency shelter during natural disasters.
