Bill > SB1070

This bill makes a technical correction to a state law that prohibits the unlawful transporting, moving, concealing, harboring, or shielding of undocumented aliens, meaning individuals who are in the United States in violation of immigration laws. The change clarifies that the exceptions to this law apply when a child protective services worker or a first responder, ambulance attendant, or emergency medical technician *acts* in their official capacity while transporting or moving an alien, rather than just *is acting* in that capacity. This ensures that individuals performing these essential services are clearly covered by the exception, even if their actions are not continuous or ongoing. The original law also states that vehicles used in such violations can be impounded and that race or national origin cannot be considered in enforcement, except as permitted by the Constitution, and outlines how an alien's immigration status can be determined. Violations are classified as misdemeanors or felonies depending on the number of undocumented aliens involved, with mandatory fines.
