Each agency shall record every immigration enforcement action, contact, and instance of cooperation in a manner prescribed by the division.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to authorize cooperation with civil immigration enforcement or to limit existing prohibitions in state or local law.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a public dashboard and mandatory agency reporting on all contacts, enforcement actions, and instances of cooperation with federal immigration authorities (including detainers, warrants, transfers, etc.), with penalties for non-reporting. It explicitly preserves and does not override existing state/local limits on cooperation, making immigration enforcement by state/local entities more transparent and accountable without expanding it.
