Adds a requirement for health care entities to train staff on responding to requests by immigration detainees to notify family or support persons of their location, creating a new procedural duty without directly expanding or restricting enforcement access.
Health care provider entities shall inform staff and relevant volunteers on how to respond to requests by a person who is in custody by immigration enforcement to notify a family member or designated support person about their current location.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill strengthens limits on immigration enforcement access to health care nonpublic areas and staff responses (restricts enforcement via sanctuary-like policies), while the new detainee-notification training is a neutral procedural addition; changes are temporary until 2030.
