AI Summary

This bill, known as the Community-Based Organization TRUST Act, aims to protect individuals' privacy and limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The legislation prevents community-based organizations (defined as local, non-profit groups providing community services) that receive state funding from sharing an individual's contact information or citizenship/immigration status with immigration agents, unless presented with a federal criminal warrant or required by federal law. The bill defines "contact information" broadly to include home and work addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media details, and other personal identifiers, and defines "immigration agents" as representatives from agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or Customs and Border Protection. The Attorney General is tasked with enforcing the act and has the authority to take legal action against organizations that violate its provisions, including seeking declaratory or injunctive relief. Additionally, the Attorney General may adopt rules to administer and implement the act, which becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
