A California Assembly committee advanced a bill that would shield voting locations and child care sites from immigration-enforcement intimidation, according to a Human Services Committee transcript.
AB 2230 moved out of the Assembly Human Services Committee during the April 14 hearing. The transcript describes the measure as protecting voting sites and child care centers from immigration-enforcement intimidation, though it does not provide the bill’s exact vote tally.
The committee also advanced AB 2379 to the Assembly Judiciary Committee. That bill would require notice and training for family child care providers about constitutional protections during immigration-enforcement encounters, the transcript says.
The two bills were among a larger set of measures the committee moved forward in the hearing, reflecting lawmakers’ concern that immigration enforcement could discourage families and providers from using essential services.
