Requires the state to assist agencies in preparing guidance for facilities on handling inquiries from federal immigration authorities, which in practice limits cooperation and data-sharing with ICE in state-run facilities.
Assist state agencies in the preparation of guidance to be disseminated to facilities and programs overseen by such agencies concerning inquiries from Federal immigration authorities seeking access to individuals residing or participating in such facilities or programs, or to records or other information regarding such persons.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a duty for the state Office for New Americans (under executive law §94-b) to help prepare guidance for state-overseen facilities and programs on responding to federal immigration authority inquiries for access to people or records. This provision substantively addresses immigration enforcement by promoting limited cooperation policies in state facilities. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
