Bars release of undocumented immigrant if federal immigration authorities request hold. Provides for designating state/local law enforcement officers to perform certain federal immigration officer duties. Prohibits state/local laws or policies that restrict state/local officials from assisting enforcement of federal immigration law. Authorizes civil penalties against agencies or officials that adopt or implement any state/local law or policy against assisting enforcement of federal immigration law. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Increased state and local law enforcement and corrections costs that could potentially reach several millions of dollars annually, a portion of which could be offset by the potential receipt of additional federal funds for law enforcement training.
