Bill Summary
An Act to Limit Consent for Entry into Nonpublic Areas of and to Limit Access to Protected Records Maintained by Certain Public Entities
AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to create model policies and guidance to limit voluntary consent for law enforcement officers to enter nonpublic areas or access protected records for immigration enforcement purposes, with mandatory adoption by public schools, postsecondary educational institutions, state institutions (like those providing services to vulnerable populations), and state libraries, while allowing other facilities like private schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship to voluntarily adopt these policies. The bill defines "nonpublic area" as any space not open to the public, and "protected records" vary by institution, including education records, protected health care information, and protected patron records, with exceptions for disclosures required by court orders or federal law, and provisions for good faith actions before policies are adopted.
