An Act relative to sanctuary cities and towns

Summary

The bill would stop any city or town in Massachusetts from passing rules that stop employees from asking about a detainee’s immigration status, sharing that information with the federal government, or cooperating with immigration officers. If a locality already has such a rule, it would be void. Non‑compliant towns could lose a portion of their unrestricted state aid, with the penalty amount based on population size.
