Interim study to examine policies for protecting immigrant communities from immigration harassment and enforcement in sensitive areas.

The bill directs the Judiciary Committee to conduct an interim study on policies that could ensure immigrant communities feel safe from immigration harassment and enforcement in sensitive areas. These areas include schools, libraries, hospitals, homeless shelters, courthouses, and legal service providers. The study will examine how other states and local governments have provided similar assurances, focusing on laws, attorneys general guidance, and local government actions. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or Legislature.
