Summary

The bill adds new state law that bars municipal law‑enforcement agencies from stopping, questioning, arresting, searching or detaining people based on their real or perceived immigration status, and it forbids them from assisting federal immigration authorities. It also limits municipalities and health‑care facilities to collect immigration‑related information only when needed for eligibility for services, and requires written consent before sharing such data, except as required by law. The measures aim to protect immigrant communities from local law‑enforcement involvement in federal immigration enforcement.
