</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law generally regulates various business activities and practices related to consumer rights. Existing law requires law enforcement and state and local governments to interact with and report on federal action against individuals based on their perceived or actual immigration status in various specified manners.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require a large home improvement retailer doing business in this state, as defined, to provide the Attorney General with copies of specified documentation related to immigration enforcement activity, as defined, that occurs on the large home improvement retailer’s premises, including copies of any video footage, as specified. The bill would also require the large home improvement retailer to disclose on the retailer’s internet
website certain information, including any policies and practices the large home improvement retailer maintains that relate to immigration enforcement activity on its premises, as specified. The bill would authorize the Attorney General or a person acting in the public interest to bring an action for injunctive relief for a violation of the above provisions. The bill would make related findings and declarations and would declare the severability of its provisions.</html:p>
<html:p>The bill would include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter of statewide concern rather than a municipal affair and, therefore, apply to all cities, including charter cities.</html:p>

<ns0:Num>SEC. 2.</ns0:Num>
<ns0:Content>
<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Widespread federal immigration raids are taking place throughout California. Common raid tactics, including the use of masks and unmarked cars by armed, plainclothes officers; the use of ruses to lure individuals out of, or gain access to, private spaces for questioning and detention; and the use of racial profiling to target individuals for questioning and detention are spreading fear and creating a sense of chaos among the general public.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Misinformation about the raids is rampant. It is difficult for the public to know what is true and this confusion exacerbates the fear and chaos caused by the raids, leading to panic that is detrimental to public safety and public health.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Large home improvement retailers have emerged as focal points for these raids. Federal immigration authorities are concentrating immigration enforcement activities at these retailers to the point that raids at large home improvement retailers are a daily occurrence.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California residents, contractors, homeowners, and day laborers rely on large home improvement retailers to purchase supplies for their homes and businesses, contract laborers to assist with home improvements, construction, and other projects, and find work to support themselves and their families. The ability to
continue to do so safely is under threat due to the concentration of federal immigration raids at these retailers.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
This act seeks to preserve the ability of California residents, contractors, homeowners, and day laborers to safely patronize large home improvement retailers by reducing misinformation and panic associated with federal immigration raids, thereby supporting public safety and public health, promoting transparency, and ensuring corporate responsibility.

<html:p> The Legislature finds and declares that preserving the ability of California residents, contractors, homeowners, and day laborers to safely patronize large home improvement retailers is a matter of statewide concern and is not a municipal affair as that term is used in Section 5 of Article XI of the California Constitution. Therefore, Section 3 of this act adding Section 1714.42 to the Civil Code applies to all cities, including charter cities.</html:p>
