Bill > SB1594

This bill mandates that the Department of Justice, when developing, reviewing, or updating model policies aimed at limiting immigration enforcement at public facilities, must consult with the Office of Immigrant and Refugee Advancement, an agency focused on immigrant and refugee support. The bill also introduces specific requirements for model policies concerning public schools, including consultation with organizations representing school board members and professionals, and mandates that these policies detail processes for verifying immigration warrants, require superintendent approval for responses to immigration enforcement, encourage consultation with legal counsel, ensure compliance with existing laws, and provide guidance for school employees on how to respond to immigration enforcement efforts. Furthermore, it requires school districts, education service districts, and public charter schools to provide these model policies to their employees, and declares an emergency, meaning the bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
