Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (State Board of Education)
HB 3247 (H-AM-1) amends the School Code to ensure that children are not denied a free public education or excluded from any school programs or activities based on their or an associated person's actual or perceived citizenship or immigration status. The bill prohibits schools from using criteria or methods that lead to such exclusion and from disclosing or threatening to disclose immigration status infonnation to immigration or law enforcement agencies. It also restricts immigration agents' access to school premises without proper documentation and approval, and prohibits schools from detaining individuals solely based on immigration detainers or warrants. Schools are required to adopt policies to comply with these provisions, and individuals aggrieved by violations can file a civil lawsuit within two years, with potential damages of three times actual damages or $17,000. This change would not have a fiscal impact to the State Board of Education. There could potentially be increased costs to school districts, public schools, charter schools, and nonpublic schools; however, the exact amount is unknown.
