The proposed bill would update current statutes by introducing new provisions that prohibit law enforcement agencies from stopping, questioning, or detaining individuals based on their citizenship or immigration status. It would also prevent these agencies from using public resources to assist in federal immigration enforcement, rendering any conflicting agreements or practices void. Additionally, the bill mandates that law enforcement inform individuals of their rights when receiving immigration detainers and requires annual reporting to the Attorney General regarding compliance and interactions with immigration authorities.

Moreover, the bill establishes strict guidelines for the collection and sharing of personal information related to immigration status, allowing such data to be collected only when necessary for public services and prohibiting its disclosure without consent, except as legally required. Agencies must update their confidentiality policies and report their findings to the Attorney General, who will summarize compliance for the Governor and Legislature. The bill also requires documentation of requests from immigration authorities and mandates the Attorney General to publish this information online, ensuring transparency and accountability in law enforcement's role in immigration matters.
