Bill > SB957

This bill, known as the Protecting Vulnerable Immigrant Detainees Model Act, requires the California Attorney General to submit a report to the Legislature by December 31, 2027, featuring a proposed oversight plan designed to protect the health, safety, and welfare of individuals held in private civil detention facilities—which are non-criminal holding centers, such as immigration detention facilities, operated by private companies rather than the government. To help develop this plan, the Governor must direct relevant state agencies and departments to cooperate with the Attorney General by sharing requested information within 30 days and providing feedback on the proposal, while ensuring that confidential state records and information exempt under the California Public Records Act remain protected from public disclosure.
