California SB1323 restricts immigration enforcement access to nonpublic areas of health care facilities.

California SB1323 mandates that health care provider entities designate nonpublic areas where patients receive treatment or discuss protected health information. Access to these areas for immigration enforcement is prohibited unless a valid judicial warrant or court order is presented. Health care provider entities must inform staff and volunteers on how to respond to immigration enforcement requests. The law also requires health care provider entities to monitor, document, and receive visitors, and to post notices at main public entrances. This act is set to be repealed on January 1, 2030.
