Provides that no State agency, unit of local government, or law enforcement officer shall materially assist, coordinate with, or provide resources to any enforcement action that violates these provisions. Provides that the Attorney General may receive and investigate complaints of violations of the Act, may issue subpoenas, and may bring a civil action for declaratory or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. Provides that no employee or contractor of a State or local governmental entity shall be retaliated against for reporting a violation of the Act to the Attorney General. Preempts home rule.
