(b) Political subdivision described A political subdivision of a State described in this subsection is any political subdivision of a State that has in effect a statute, ordinance, policy, or practice that prohibits or restricts any government entity or official from— (1) sending, receiving, maintaining, or exchanging with any Federal, State, or local government entity information regarding the citizenship or immigration status (lawful or unlawful) of any individual; or (2) complying with a request lawfully made by the Department of Homeland Security under section 236 or 287 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1226 and 1357) to comply with a detainer for, or notify about the release of, an individual. (c) Limitations Subsection (a) applies only with regard to Federal funds received by a political subdivision of a State only beginning for the fiscal year that is the fifth full fiscal year immediately preceding the effective date of this Act. Subsection (a) does not apply to any funds received under subpart 1 of part E of title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. (d) Grace period In the case of any political subdivision that submits to the Attorney General a notice to remedy, and not later than 15 days thereafter takes such actions as may be necessary to no longer be a political subdivision described in subsection (b), the application of subsection (a) may be suspended.
