Bill > SB1316

This bill repeals the Illinois TRUST Act, which was a law designed to limit local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The bill removes references to the TRUST Act from two other state laws: the Illinois Identification Card Act and the Illinois Vehicle Code. Specifically, the bill modifies sections that previously defined an "immigration agent" by deleting the reference to the TRUST Act and replacing it with a direct definition of immigration agents as employees of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or similar agencies. The changes maintain existing restrictions on sharing personal information with immigration agents, but now define these agents more explicitly. These modifications mean that state agencies like the Secretary of State's office will continue to have limitations on disclosing personal information to immigration agents, but with a more precisely defined scope. The bill takes effect immediately, potentially impacting how state agencies handle information requests related to immigration enforcement.
