Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds Civil Code 1714.42 requiring large retail stores to report and preserve documentation of federal immigration enforcement on their premises to the state AG and counties, disclose related policies online, and exempts the submitted records from public disclosure; this expands state and local government monitoring of and involvement with immigration enforcement activity. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
