A04181Prohibits governmental entities from entering into agreements to house individuals in immigration detention facilities; requires governmental entities to terminate existing contracts for the detention of individuals in immigration detention facilities.
Prohibits state and local governments from entering, renewing or maintaining agreements to house or detain people in immigration detention facilities and bans private entities from owning or operating them, so less immigration detention by state or local government.
The state, county, municipality, a unit of local government, a county sheriff, or an agency, officer, employee, or agent of the state, county, municipality, or a unit of local government shall not: (a) Enter into or renew an immigration detention agreement; or (b) Receive any payment related to the detention of individuals in an immigration detention facility.

Immigration enforcementstate federal cooperationAI label
Requires termination of existing immigration detention agreements within 90 days and prohibits any cooperation via contracts or payments for detaining individuals for civil immigration violations, so less state or local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
The state, county, municipality, a unit of local government, a county sheriff, or an agency, officer, employee, or agent of the state, county, municipality or a unit of local government with an existing immigration detention agreement shall exercise the termination provision contained in the immigration detention agreement no later than ninety days from the date on which this article takes effect.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill enacts the Dignity Not Detention Act, which adds definitions for immigration detention facilities and agreements to the correction law and prohibits all forms of state/local government participation in or financial support for them, including with private entities; it also mandates termination of existing agreements. This directly limits immigration detention and related cooperation, with no provisions on other tracked topics.
