Why the model tagged it this way: The bill regulates advertising and disclaimers by non-attorney providers of immigration services and by notaries public who offer such services. It imposes disclosure requirements and prohibits misleading titles to prevent fraud, but does not expand or restrict the underlying scope of state or local immigration enforcement actions such as cooperation with ICE, sanctuary policies, E-Verify, or border operations. The changes are consumer-protection measures that are neutral on the immigration-enforcement axis.
