Bill > SF4176

This bill aims to limit state and local government involvement in federal civil immigration enforcement, protect individuals' constitutional rights, and ensure access to essential services like education and healthcare. Key provisions include prohibiting government units and personnel from applying for certain federal funds or entering contracts to house or detain individuals for civil immigration enforcement, and requiring public safety agencies to refuse detainer or hold requests from federal immigration authorities unless supported by a judicial warrant. The bill also establishes a civil cause of action for violations of these provisions, creates protections against civil arrest at court proceedings without a judicial warrant, and mandates that healthcare facilities implement policies to limit law enforcement access for immigration enforcement unless a judicial warrant is presented. Furthermore, it prohibits schools from denying education based on immigration status and requires them to adopt procedures to protect students and staff from immigration enforcement on campus, while also establishing rules for how higher education institutions handle immigration enforcement activities and data. Finally, the bill classifies immigration status data as private and restricts its dissemination for civil immigration enforcement without proper authorization, and repeals existing laws that required notification to federal immigration officers about certain inmates.
