This bill would prohibit the California State University, community colleges, schools, and school districts from providing ICE access to an individual, and would request the University of California to likewise comply with this prohibition. AB 2792 (Bonta) Page 1 of ? Fiscal Impact: Local law enforcement agencies : Potentially significant non-reimbursable local costs (Local Funds) to local law enforcement agencies for administrative and operational workload to adhere to the specified conditions in order to provide ICE access to individuals. New workload would include facilitating the public input process, compiling data reports, and responding to CPRA requests. Federal grant funding : Unknown impact on future federal Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program and State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) grant awards. To the extent the prohibition from providing ICE with "non-publicly available information" includes information about an individual's immigration status could potentially result in non-compliance with 8 U.S.C. Section 1373, which prevents federal, state, and local government entities and officials from prohibiting or in any way restricting government entities from exchanging information concerning an individual's citizenship or immigration status with federal immigration officers. In FFY 2015, state and local agencies in California received $57 million in SCAAP funding, and the FFY 2016 state and local agency JAG allocations totaled $29.3 million. CSU/CCC/schools : Unknown future impact resulting from the blanket prohibition from providing "ICE access" to an individual, with no exceptions. Author Amendments: Delay the requirement to hold a community forum to 2018 and make other technical changes. -- END --
