SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Public benefits; proof of legal presence. Provides that no person who is not a U.S. citizen or legally present in the United States is eligible for any state or local public benefits. The bill defines state and local benefits, and sets forth a series of exceptions to this eligibility rule. The bill also requires applicants for state or local assistance to provide proof of being in the United States legally and establishes a process for temporary receipt of benefits when applicants cannot provide such proof. In addition, the bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2006 and requires affected state agencies to cooperate with agencies of local government to develop a system to facilitate verification of legal presence. This bill is identical to HB 1798.
