Educational equity: immigration enforcement.

The document was converted from an official chaptered PDF-style format (with page numbers, running headers like 'Ch. 663', and formal layout) to a web page format that includes site navigation elements such as 'skip to content,' 'home,' 'accessibility,' 'FAQ,' search fields, sidebar links, and version selection dropdowns. No legislative text was altered.

School officials are now prohibited from allowing an officer or employee of an immigration enforcement agency to enter a nonpublic area of a schoolsite without a valid judicial warrant, judicial subpoena, or court order. School staff must also request valid identification from such officers to the extent practicable.

Local educational agencies are prohibited from disclosing education records or any information about a pupil or family (including personal information, home information, and travel schedules) to immigration enforcement officers without a valid judicial warrant, subpoena, or court order. Any disclosure under such an order must follow FERPA parent notification requirements.

Superintendents and principals must report to their governing boards any requests for information or access by law enforcement for immigration enforcement purposes, in a manner that protects the confidentiality of potentially identifying information.

The language requirement for posting the 'Know Your Educational Rights' guide was simplified from a detailed rule referencing Section 48985 translation requirements to a broader standard: post in every language the Attorney General provides and update the school year following any updates published by the Attorney General.

New definition of 'immigration enforcement' covering all efforts to investigate, enforce, or assist in enforcing federal civil immigration law and federal criminal immigration law that penalizes a person's presence, entry, reentry, or employment in the United States.

New definition of 'schoolsite' covering an individual school campus, an area where a school-sponsored activity is currently being held, or a school bus or other transportation provided by the local educational agency.

Changed 'Child Protective Services' to 'a child protective services agency,' broadening the reference beyond the specific state agency to include any such agency.

A new savings clause (subdivision i) explicitly states the section does not prohibit or restrict any governmental entity from sending or receiving immigration status information to or from federal immigration authorities pursuant to 8 U.S.C. Sections 1373 and 1644, carving out government-to-government information sharing.

The bill now includes a coordination provision (new Section 2) with AB 49: if both bills are enacted and this bill is enacted last, the complete rewrite of Section 234.7 in this bill becomes operative and the original Section 1 amendments do not take effect.

Local educational agencies must maintain their adopted policies and make them available to the Department of Justice upon request, and are subject to monitoring and auditing by the department for compliance.

The Attorney General must update model policies by December 1, 2025 to align with the new prohibitions. Local educational agencies must update their policies to align with the section by March 1, 2026.

Removed Assembly and Senate passage dates, clerk signatures, and Governor receipt line; replaced with 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header and Chapter 663 designation

Added Governor approval date of October 12, 2025 and filing date with Secretary of State

Page numbers changed from 95 (enrolled) to 94 (chaptered), page count reduced from 9 pages to 6 pages due to reformatting, and line breaks adjusted throughout

Added a new requirement that the immigration enforcement guide must be posted in every language that the Attorney General provides, which is broader than the prior standard of only posting in English plus languages required under Section 48985.

Corrected grammar from 'administrative building' to 'administrative buildings' and 'internet website' to 'internet websites', and restructured the sentence describing where the guide must be posted (administrative buildings and websites of the LEA and each schoolsite).

Posting location expanded from the administrative building of the local educational agency to include each of its individual school sites. The guide must now be posted at every school site, not just the central office.

Language requirement changed from English and Spanish only to English plus every other language that a school is required to translate documents into under Section 48985. For the local educational agency website, it must be posted in English plus any language used at one or more of its school sites.

Minor wording cleanups throughout, including removing the phrase 'know your rights' from the guide description, simplifying 'his or her the superintendent's designee' to 'the superintendent's designee,' and correcting 'do both all' to 'do all.'
