Health care facilities (hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, assisted living facilities) must require a valid judicial warrant before allowing law enforcement agents entry for civil immigration enforcement purposes

Facilities must develop and implement policies for interacting with immigration enforcement agents, including procedures to verify agent identity, designate contact persons, and restrict access to nonpublic areas without a warrant

Patient and resident information may only be released to immigration enforcement agents with a valid federal subpoena, court order, or warrant, and must comply with HIPAA requirements

Facilities must provide annual training to employees on these policies, post immigration rights information in conspicuous locations, and submit policies to the Commissioner of Health

The Commissioner may investigate complaints of noncompliance and impose fines; facilities are prohibited from retaliating against anyone who files a complaint
