			<ns0:Content>
				<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(a)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Immigrants are valuable and essential members of the California community and indiscriminate immigration enforcement against persons who do not pose a public safety risk to Californians has a significant negative impact on state and local functions.
				Increased immigration enforcement activity in California, including in the workplace and schools, has been detrimental to the health and welfare of California’s residents.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(b)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					The California Constitution confers an inalienable right to privacy for all Californians. This right to privacy protects the personal, private information of individuals.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(c)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					A relationship of trust between California’s immigrant community and state and local agencies is central to the functioning of the state’s government and the public safety, health, welfare, and constitutional rights of the people of California.
				</html:p>
				<html:p>
					(d)
					<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
					Protecting the state’s limited public resources from being used for federal immigration enforcement actions 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 1 of this act adding Section 12532.5 to the Government Code applies to all cities, including charter cities.

Existing law requires the Attorney General to develop model policies limiting assistance with immigration enforcement to the fullest extent possible consistent with federal and state law at public schools, public libraries, courthouses, specified health facilities, shelters, and other specified state agencies. 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. 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.
