Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition on bail enforcement agents (licensed under the general business law) using their position to enforce immigration actions. This limits private actors licensed by the state from participating in immigration enforcement, which restricts the overall scope of immigration enforcement by state or local government actors and their agents.
