Requires termination of existing agreements authorizing performance of federal immigration functions and bars non-mandatory cooperation with immigration authorities, creating a sanctuary-like policy that limits state and local immigration enforcement.
a state agency or law-enforcement agency that has an existing written agreement authorizing any employee or law-enforcement officer to perform a function of a federal immigration officer or to enforce federal immigration law shall terminate such written agreement no later than September 1, 2026.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds multiple prohibitions on state and local law-enforcement agencies and officers regarding cooperation with federal immigration authorities, including bans on agreements, detainers, assistance in enforcement, and non-mandatory communications, plus requirements to terminate existing agreements; these provisions substantively address only immigration-enforcement topics by restricting state/local involvement.
