Last scannedAug 25, 2026, 3:18 AM

In one sentence

This bill states that schools must be safe and limits federal immigration officers from entering school grounds unless they have a valid judicial warrant.

States that students, teachers, and staff are entitled to safety while at school.
Requires parents or guardians to be notified as soon as possible if their child is contacted, questioned, searched, cited, or arrested by a peace officer working with school officials.
Defines the roles of school resource officers and security guards in keeping schools safe.
Stops federal immigration enforcement officers from entering school grounds without presenting a valid judicial warrant.
Clarifies that administrative warrants, detainers, notices to appear, or subpoenas do not count as valid court orders for entry.

School staff may still let officers in if there is an immediate threat to health or safety.
The bill was indefinitely postponed, so it did not become law.

Valid judicial warrant: A written order signed by a judge or magistrate that specifically allows someone to enter the place they are trying to access.
School resource officer: A peace officer whose main job is assigned to work at a school district for law enforcement and security services.
