Bill > SB0509

This bill establishes restrictions on how government entities in Michigan can disclose personal information potentially related to federal immigration enforcement. The bill defines key terms like "government entity" (any state, county, or municipal department or agency), "person" (which includes individuals and organizations), and "personal information" (identifying details like names, addresses, photographs, and criminal history). Before releasing any personal information, government entities must require requestors to provide their name, contact information, and a sworn statement about whether the information will be used for immigration law enforcement. If a request is for immigration enforcement purposes, the government entity cannot release the information unless the requestor presents a valid warrant from a federal or state court. The bill also mandates that government entities submit annual reports to the Attorney General and legislature detailing the number of requests for personal information related to immigration enforcement, including how many were granted or denied. Additionally, if a government entity discovers that previously released personal information was used for immigration enforcement without proper authorization, it must prohibit future information sharing with that requester except under court warrant.
