Correctional Services - Immigration Detention Facilities - Original Design and Construction

Summary

The bill bars any person from running an immigration detention facility in a structure that was not originally designed and constructed to house or detain individuals. It also prevents state, local and sheriff agencies from entering into, renewing, or financially supporting agreements with private entities for such facilities unless strict public‑notice and comment rules are met. The measure aims to ensure detention sites are purpose‑built and to curb public support for privately run immigration detention.
