Relates to protecting students, faculty, and staff from immigration enforcement while attending or participating in school activities
What changed between versions
The bill title and text were changed to focus specifically on 'immigration enforcement' rather than general 'civil arrest'.
The definition of protected individuals was changed from 'students, teachers, school staff, volunteers, and visitors' to 'students, parents, teachers and school staff'.
The protected location was changed from general 'school' settings to 'non-public portions of school grounds or any property managed or operated by a school district'.
The requirements for law enforcement were updated to require a 'valid court order or judicial warrant issued by an independent judge' instead of just a 'judicial warrant'.
A new exception was added allowing law enforcement to access students if they are responding to an 'imminent safety situation'.
School personnel are now required to ask for identification from officers presenting warrants and must provide the superintendent with the documents before taking action.
A new definition was added for 'immigration enforcement' to clarify it includes civil provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
