AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to designate certain state-operated facilities as "safe community places," which include hospitals, schools, libraries, courthouses, shelters, and other community centers. Employees or agents of these safe community places are prohibited from voluntarily giving federal law enforcement permission to enter non-public areas for operations aimed at identifying, apprehending, arresting, or penalizing individuals for activities protected by the First Amendment, such as free speech or assembly, or for immigration enforcement purposes, though this restriction does not apply if federal agents present a valid judicial warrant.
