Summary

The bill eliminates the state law that barred government agencies and health‑care facilities from gathering or sharing information such as immigration status, citizenship, birthplace, Social Security numbers or tax IDs unless it was needed for a specific public service. By repealing the Privacy Protection Act, those entities can now collect and disclose this data without the previous restrictions, though other statutes may still apply. Supporters argue the change will aid law‑enforcement investigations and cut compliance burdens.
