Bill > HB1032

This bill requires school directors and public charter school directors to immediately notify all students, parents, educators, employees, and contractors when an immigration officer (defined as any state, local, or federal law enforcement officer seeking to enforce immigration law, such as ICE or CBP officers) is present on school grounds. The bill explicitly states that this notification requirement is not considered a "sanctuary policy" and will not subject school board members, directors, or employees to penalties typically associated with sanctuary policies. By mandating rapid communication about the presence of immigration officers, the bill aims to ensure that school communities are promptly informed when federal immigration enforcement is on campus. The legislation will take effect immediately upon becoming law, and it applies to both traditional local education agencies (LEAs) and public charter schools in Tennessee. The bill seeks to provide transparency and potentially allow students, parents, and school staff to prepare or respond accordingly when immigration officers are present at educational institutions.
