CT SB01115

Removes bail commissioners from the definition of "law enforcement officer" and creates a separate definition for bail commissioners and intake/assessment/referral specialists as Judicial Branch employees effective October 1, 2019.

Prohibits law enforcement officers, bail commissioners, intake specialists, and school police from arresting individuals on civil immigration detainers unless the detainer is accompanied by a judicial warrant, the individual has been convicted of a class A or B felony, or the individual is identified in the federal Terrorist Screening Database.

Prohibits law enforcement from expending resources to communicate with federal immigration authorities about detainees, arresting based on administrative warrants, or allowing federal immigration interviews unless specific exceptions apply (felony conviction, terrorism database match, or relevant court order).

Requires law enforcement agencies receiving civil immigration detainers to provide copies to affected individuals and notify them of the agency's compliance intent, with good faith efforts to contact the individual or a designated alternative.

Mandates that ICE access records be maintained as public documents and requires municipalities to report data on ICE access to the Office of Policy and Management every six months beginning January 1, 2020, including number, demographic data, and type of access provided.
