Bill > AB1801

This bill modifies existing law to require public agencies, including cities and counties, to follow specific public notice and comment procedures before approving or executing any document related to the building or reuse of existing facilities by private entities for the purpose of housing or detaining individuals in civil immigration custody. These procedures include providing public notice at least 180 days in advance, making related documents accessible, and holding at least two public meetings to solicit and hear comments. The bill also specifies the content, posting, publication, and broadcast requirements for the public notice, as well as the conduct of the meetings, and clarifies that these provisions apply independently to each public entity. The bill states that these requirements are declaratory of existing law, meaning they are intended to clarify and confirm what is already understood to be legally required.
