This bill prohibits bail enforcement agents in New York from using their licensed position to enforce immigration actions. It directly affects licensed bail enforcement agents, making it unlawful for them to participate in immigration enforcement while performing their bail-related duties.

This is a clear policy change restricting the scope of bail agents' authorized activities to exclude immigration enforcement. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.

This bill requires New York state agencies to develop guidance for facilities and programs they oversee (like shelters, community centers, or social services programs) on how to handle requests from federal immigration authorities seeking access to people or records.

The guidance must help facilities respond appropriately while protecting individuals' privacy and rights during such interactions. This applies directly to all state-run or state-funded facilities and programs that serve the public.
