Summary

Existing law generally regulates formation and enforcement of contracts, including what constitutes an unlawful contract. Under existing law, a contract is unlawful if it is contrary to an express provision of law, contrary to the policy of express law, though not expressly prohibited, or otherwise contrary to good morals. Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors on behalf of its sheriff, and a legislative body of a city on behalf of its chief of police, to contract to provide supplemental law enforcement services to private individuals, private entities, and private corporations in specified circumstances and subject to certain conditions. This bill would, commencing on January 1, 2018, prohibit a city, county, city and county, or a local law enforcement agency that does not, as of that date, have a contract with the federal government or any federal agency or a private corporation to detain noncitizens for the purposes of civil immigration custody from entering into a contract with those entities to house or detain in a locked detention facility noncitizens for purposes of civil immigration custody. The bill would further prohibit a city, county, city and county, or local law enforcement agency that, as of January 1, 2018, has an existing contract with the federal government or any federal agency or a private corporation to house or detain noncitizens for purposes of civil immigration custody, from renewing or modifying that contract, on and after that date, in a manner that would expand the maximum number of contract beds that may be utilized to house or detain, in a locked detention facility, noncitizens for purposes of civil immigration custody. This bill would prohibit, on and after January 1, 2018, a city, county, city and county, or a public agency from approving or signing a deed, instrument, or other document related to a conveyance of land or issuing a permit for the building or reuse of existing buildings by a private corporation, contractor, or vendor to house or detain noncitizens for the purposes of civil immigration proceedings unless the city, county, city and county, or public agency has provided specified notice to the public and solicited and heard public comments regarding the action. The California Public Records Act requires state and local agencies to make their records available for public inspection and to make copies available upon request and payment of a fee unless the records are exempt from disclosure. This bill would specify that any facility that detains a noncitizen pursuant to a contract with a city, county, city and county, or a local law enforcement agency is subject to the California Public Records Act. The bill would provide that its provisions are severable.
