Why the model tagged it this way: The bill primarily restricts immigration enforcement by repealing sanctuary bans, limiting data sharing and cooperation with federal immigration authorities, repealing E-Verify mandates and related employer sanctions, repealing human smuggling penalties, barring new detention agreements, and creating protections and an inclusion office for immigrants. It also expands access to driver licenses and IDs using foreign documents while adding privacy safeguards against immigration enforcement use of that data. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
