The bill emphasizes previous <br />restorative justice legislation and guarantees that individuals under these policies can <br />return to their homes and reintegrate into society, regardless of their citizenship status. <br />The primary goal of the proposed bill is to enable these individuals to rebuild their lives <br />after serving their sentences. <br />As noted below, there exists state law that limits or restricts state and local law <br />enforcement agencies in federal immigration enforcement activities. However, existing <br />law does not impose these limitations or restrictions on CDCR. AB 1306 would restrict <br />CDCR from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in specific <br />circumstances. More information is provided in the section below.
