California SB81 protects patient privacy and prevents immigration enforcement on health care provider sites.

California SB81 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. The bill also requires health care provider entities to inform staff and volunteers on how to respond to immigration enforcement requests.
