HB280 Comprehensive children's health care coverage program; DMAS Services to establish.

Direction

Immigration enforcement sanctuary policiesAI label

Restricts immigration enforcement model confidence 90%

Limits DMAS from sharing children's health program data with immigration authorities without consent or judicial warrant and requires notifying the subject, so less immigration enforcement.

The Department shall not disclose information obtained by the program established by this section to any federal, state, or local government entity, law-enforcement officer, or law-enforcement agency for any purpose related to civil immigration enforcement unless (i) the subject of the information consents to such disclosure or (ii) the requesting agency or officer presents a lawful judicial order, judicial subpoena, or judicial warrant.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a state-funded children's health coverage program and includes one provision that restricts data sharing for civil immigration enforcement purposes (with notice requirement), which matches the immigration-enforcement/sanctuary-policies topic. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
