AI Summary
This bill prohibits state agencies and officials from entering into any agreements related to immigration enforcement, which includes investigating, interrogating, detaining, detecting, or arresting individuals for immigration purposes, without first obtaining approval from the Legislature. Such agreements, defined as "immigration enforcement agreements," are considered a matter of statewide concern, and the public is entitled to notice and an opportunity to be heard before they are authorized. Any existing or future immigration enforcement agreements not approved by the Legislature are declared void and unenforceable. The bill also makes technical changes to existing law by clarifying that "committed offender" and persons sentenced or committed to a facility are under the laws of this state, and it repeals the original sections of law that are being amended.
