Bill > HF3924

This bill, titled the "State and Local Government Participation in Federal Civil Immigration Enforcement Efforts Limited Act," aims to restrict the involvement of state and local governments in federal civil immigration enforcement, protect constitutional rights, and ensure access to education and healthcare. Key provisions include prohibiting government units and personnel from applying for federal funds that require increased information sharing for civil immigration enforcement or entering into contracts to house individuals for such purposes, and requiring public safety agencies (like law enforcement and correctional facilities) to not comply with detainers or hold requests from federal immigration authorities, nor participate in civil immigration enforcement operations. The bill also establishes a cause of action for individuals whose constitutional rights are violated during civil immigration enforcement, allowing them to sue for damages and attorney fees, and prohibits schools from denying education based on immigration status, creating a similar civil right of action for such denials. Furthermore, hospitals are required to develop policies for interactions with law enforcement agents regarding civil immigration enforcement, ensuring patient privacy and rights, and specific data related to immigration status is classified as private and its dissemination for civil immigration enforcement is restricted unless required by federal law or a judicial warrant. The bill also repeals existing statutes related to notifying immigration officers about alien inmates and providing them with case records.
