Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, no official, employee, or agent of a state agency or other body in state government or a local governmental unit, including any law enforcement officer, may aid in the detention of an individual if the individual is being detained on the sole basis that the individual is or is alleged to be not lawfully present in the United States. The bill applies only to a detention that occurs in a public building or facility, school, place of worship, place where child care services are provided, or place where medical or other health care services are provided. Also, the bill does not prohibit any state or local government official from providing access to any place or facility as required pursuant to a properly executed judicial warrant.
The bill further provides that, except as required pursuant to a properly executed judicial warrant, no person employed or otherwise lawfully present at a public building or facility, school, place of worship, place where child care services are provided, or place where medical or other health care services are provided may be required to provide access to such facility or place or otherwise aid federal officials for purposes of the detention of an individual at such facility or place who is being detained on the sole basis that the individual is or is alleged to be not lawfully present in the United States.
Finally, the bill prohibits any state agency or other body in state government from expending any moneys to aid in the detention of an individual in this state if the individual is being detained on the sole basis that the individual is or is alleged to be not lawfully present in the United States.
