The proposed bill, titled the "Shielding Information for Lawful and Ethical Disclosure Act," aims to restrict government entities from disclosing personal information in bulk to federal immigration authorities under specific conditions. It defines "disclose personal information in bulk" as the transfer or sharing of personal data related to multiple individuals without individualized review or specific legal authorization. The bill outlines that personal information includes identifiable details such as names, addresses, and contact information.

Under the new legislation, government entities are prohibited from bulk disclosures unless a federal immigration authority presents a warrant, subpoena, or court order, the disclosure is for a law enforcement purpose authorized by law, or it is immediately necessary to protect the health and safety of individuals or the public. Additionally, the bill grants the attorney general the authority to enforce these provisions through injunctive relief or declaratory judgment, while clarifying that it does not create a private cause of action against government entities.
