<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law prohibits a city, city and county, or local law enforcement agency from entering into a contract with the federal government or any federal agency to house or detain noncitizens for purposes of civil immigration custody in a locked detention facility. Existing law, until July 1, 2027, requires the Attorney General to engage in reviews of county, local, and private locked detention facilities in which noncitizens are being housed or detained for purposes of civil immigration proceedings in California. Existing law requires that review to include a review of the conditions of confinement, a review of the standard of care and due process provided to the detainees, and a review of the circumstances around their apprehension and transfer to the facility. Existing law requires any private detention facility operator, as defined, to comply with, and adhere to, the detention
standards of care and confinement agreed upon in the facility’s contract for operations.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill, the Private Detention and Civil Confinement Facility Oversight and Standards Act of 2026, would
require a covered civil confinement facility, defined to include private detention facilities and specified mental health treatment facilities, unless otherwise licensed, certified, designated, or approved under state law or local ordinance, to file an annual registration with the State Department of Public Health and identify specified information about the facility, including, among other things, the contracting entity and the standards of care and confinement in the facility’s operating contract. The bill would require the department to adopt rules and regulations to enforce the above-described requirement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require a facility operator to comply with specified standards and requirements relating to, among other things, applicable health and safety laws and standards of care and confinement set forth in a contract or agreement. The
bill would require an enforcing agency, defined as a state or local entity that licenses, certifies, designates, or approves the operation of, and regulates, an above-described facility under state or local law, to conduct regular inspections of facilities within its jurisdiction and would authorize an agency to conduct additional inspections as necessary. The bill would require an operator to furnish specified information to the agency when requested, to preserve specified documents related to the above-described compliance requirements, and to report unusual occurrences and other significant health or safety incidents to the agency within 24 hours of the incident. The bill would authorize an agency to require a facility to take specified actions to correct noncompliance with the above-described requirements, and would require a facility operator to submit a corrective action plan to the agency and to comply with the plan. By imposing additional duties on local entities, the bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p> This bill would authorize an agency to enforce the above-described requirements on a facility that is already licensed, certified, designated, or approved under state law or local ordinance using its existing authority, and would authorize the department to enforce those requirements on a facility required to register as described above by taking specified actions, including, issuing a cease and desist order, imposing civil penalties, or, for repeated, material, or uncured violations, suspending the facility’s registration. The bill would require the department or enforcing agency to provide the facility notice and an opportunity to be heard before imposing any penalty for a violation of the above-described requirements.</html:p>
<html:p>This
bill would prohibit an operator from retaliating against any
person who reports or participates in an investigation or proceeding concerning a violation of the act or any health or safety standard. The bill would make the provisions of the act severable. The bill would make related findings and declarations.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>

<ns0:Content>
<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California has an interest in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of individuals held in privately operated detention facilities or contract-operated civil confinement facilities located within the state.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
As held in United States v. California (2019) 921 F.3d 865, 886, states have “the general authority to ensure the health and welfare of inmates and detainees in facilities within its borders.” States also have broad authority to enforce generally applicable
health and safety laws against contractors operating private detention facilities within the state. The ninth circuit reinforced this authority in Geo Group, Inc. v. Newsom (2022) 50 F.4th 745, 750, stating “private contractors do not stand on the same footing as the federal government, so states can impose many laws on federal contractors that they could not apply to the federal government itself.”
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
While federal law preempts state law when Congress has occupied the field enacting a scheme of federal regulation that would leave the states no room to supplement it, Knox v. Brnovich (2018) 907 F.3d 1167, 1174 reaffirmed that there is a presumption against preemption “when a state regulates in an area of historic state power.”
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
In the
2025–26 fiscal year budget materials, the United States Department of Homeland Security proposed reducing the United States Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman by 24 positions and $11,000,000 from the 2023–24 fiscal year enacted level. In March 2025, the United States Department of Homeland Security moved to eliminate substantial staffing within key oversight offices, including 46 positions in the United States Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman, 147 positions in the United States Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and 118 positions in the United States Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Private corporations operating detention facilities pursuant to contracts function as business enterprises within California and therefore remain subject to the state’s legitimate exercise of licensing, consumer protection, and health and safety authority.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(f)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
As
held in Zadvydas v. Davis (2001) 533 U.S. 678, 690, immigration detention is “civil, not criminal” and “nonpunitive in purposes and effect.” Therefore, the appropriate comparators to private detention facilities in California are similarly situated privately operated or contract-operated civil confinement facilities in which persons may be involuntarily confined for nonpunitive purposes under state or federal law.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(g)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Persons who are confined in civil confinement facilities, like persons held in civil immigration detention, may be involuntarily confined for nonpenal purposes, and the conditions of confinement are not part of criminal punishment.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(h)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
California requires operators of civil confinement facilities, as a condition of doing business in this state, to maintain enforceable standards of care and confinement, to comply with applicable health and safety requirements, and to
comply with the standards they have agreed to follow in contracts governing facility operations or the provision of direct services.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(i)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The purpose of this division is to regulate facility conditions, standards of care and confinement, sanitation, food service, medical and mental health care, reporting, records, and related health and safety matters. This division does not seek to regulate decisions regarding apprehension, charging, detention placement, transfer, release, removal, sentencing, or contractor responsibility determinations made by the federal government, the state, or a local governmental entity.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(j)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
It is not the intent of the Legislation to impose additional oversight on facilities that already have state or local regulatory oversight authority in place.
