LD 2106 Maine House · 132nd Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act To Prohibit The Disclosure Of Nonpublic Records Without Proper Judicial Review

This emergency bill prohibits school and college officials from voluntarily allowing immigration enforcement officers to enter private areas or access student records without a judicial warrant. It directly affects public schools, state postsecondary institutions, and their staff by restricting cooperation with immigration enforcement while still permitting the exchange of citizenship information with federal authorities. The law allows exceptions for valid court warrants or urgent circumstances but otherwise blocks non-judicial access to student data and private spaces. This measure aims to protect educational environments from immigration enforcement activities while maintaining legal compliance with federal information-sharing requirements.
