AI Summary
This bill requires school directors and public charter school directors to immediately notify all students, parents, educators, employees, and contractors when an immigration officer is present on school grounds. The bill defines an "immigration officer" as any state, local, or federal law enforcement officer seeking to enforce immigration law, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. The legislation explicitly states that this notification requirement does not constitute a "sanctuary policy" and does not subject school board members, directors, or employees to penalties related to sanctuary policy regulations. By mandating immediate notification, the bill aims to ensure that school communities are aware of the presence of immigration officers on campus, potentially allowing students, families, and staff to take appropriate actions or seek legal guidance. The act will take effect immediately upon becoming law, as determined by the Tennessee General Assembly.
