Community transparency: Mask ban & mandatory agent identification
- Prohibit any local law enforcement officers and the Nevada National Guard from wearing masks or face coverings when conducting public enforcement duties.
- Require all local law enforcement officers and the Nevada National Guard to clearly identify themselves when conducting public enforcement duties (name, badge numbers, and agency).
- Prohibit bail enforcement agents or other private individuals from engaging in immigration enforcement activities in Nevada.
Community safe zones: Protect sensitive locations from ICE enforcement
- Prohibit immigration enforcement agents from conducting operations in sensitive areas without a judicial warrant, such as Public & Charter Schools, Higher Education Institutions, Hospitals & Health Facilities, Court Houses, daycare centers, and Places of Worship.
- Require staff training and a clear internal process displayed for staff to follow.
Data protections: Personal data protections for all Nevadans
- Prohibit the collection and storage of immigration status information in any state database unless legally required for a public benefit, such as federal financial aid.
- Prohibit state and local agencies from sharing personal information solely for ICE enforcement without a subpoena or the individual’s explicit consent.
- Prohibit micro-entrepreneurs’ and street vendors’ data obtained by state and local jurisdictions from being shared with federal immigration enforcement agencies without a subpoena.
- Require an annual public report on any immigration related data requests from the Federal government and/or data breaches that could have resulted in sensitive information being compromised.
- Immediate notification to all Nevadans when a state breach has occurred & their personal data has been compromised.
