Section 15.
The School Code is amended by changing Section
2
22-105, as added by Public Act 104-288, as follows:

(105 ILCS 5/22-106)
4
Sec.
22-106
22-105
.
Denial of free education prohibited.
5
(a) The purpose of this Section is to secure the right of
6
every child to equal access to a free public education and a

Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982), as in effect on January 1,

11
deny children a free public education based on immigration
12
status. In their efforts to promote the right to educational
13
equality established in Plyler, schools must take steps to
14
protect the integrity of school learning environments for all
15
children, so that no parent is discouraged from sending and no
16
child is discouraged from attending school, including from the
17
threat of immigration enforcement or other law enforcement
18
activity on a school campus.

(b) As used in this Section:
