Senate Bill 54 aims to establish regulations regarding the detention of individuals who are or are alleged to be unlawfully present in the United States. The bill prohibits any official, employee, or agent of a state agency or local governmental unit, including law enforcement officers, from assisting in the detention of such individuals if the detention occurs in specific public spaces, such as schools, places of worship, and healthcare facilities. However, the bill allows for access to these facilities if required by a properly executed judicial warrant.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no person lawfully present at these facilities can be compelled to assist federal officials in the detention of individuals based solely on their immigration status, unless a judicial warrant is involved. Furthermore, it prohibits state agencies from using public funds to aid in the detention of individuals under the same circumstances. This legislation seeks to limit the involvement of state and local officials in federal immigration enforcement within designated public spaces.
