A05653Provides that any requirement that undocumented immigrants who are seeking asylum in the United States be sheltered in a certain locality or localities shall only apply to those towns, cities, and counties that opt-in to such requirement through the adoption of a local law or ordinance; defines the term "sheltered" as including, but not limited to, being temporarily or permanently placed into housing, dwelling, or living quarters by a state or local governmental entity.
Requires that any state or local mandate to shelter asylum-seeking undocumented immigrants applies only to localities that voluntarily opt in via local law, and bars non-opted-in localities from sheltering them, so more local control to limit or avoid immigration-related sheltering obligations.
any requirement that undocumented immigrants who are seeking asylum in the United States be sheltered in a certain locality or localities shall only apply to those towns, cities, and counties that opt-in to such requirement through the adoption of a local law or ordinance.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill addresses immigration enforcement by creating an opt-in mechanism for local governments regarding sheltering obligations for asylum-seeking undocumented immigrants, effectively restricting mandatory participation and limiting sheltering in non-consenting localities.
