Establishes provisions to provide for legal representation for undocumented minors in immigration matters

Summary

The bill would have the Department of Social Services pay for legal counsel for any immigrant child under 18 who is unaccompanied or lacks a guardian, covering both state and federal immigration proceedings. Representation would continue if the child turns 18 as long as the case began before that age, unless the child already has a private attorney. The aim is to give vulnerable minors due process in immigration matters.
