Human services: services or financial assistance; provision of services or grants or participation in programs for certain individuals; prohibit. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 1d.

Maddy summaryThis bill amends Michigan's Social Welfare Act to restrict eligibility for state-funded services and grants to only U.S. citizens and qualified aliens. It defines "qualified alien" using the same federal standard found in 8 USC 1641, which generally includes specific categories of immigrants such as refugees and asylees. Consequently, individuals who do not meet these citizenship or immigration status requirements would be prohibited from receiving assistance under this act, unless a specific federal law provides an exception.

Housing: housing development authority; provision of services or grants or participation in programs for certain individuals; prohibit. Amends 1966 PA 346 (MCL 125.1401 - 125.1499c) by adding sec. 13.

Maddy summaryThis bill restricts access to Michigan's State Housing Development Authority programs by limiting eligibility to U.S. citizens and qualified aliens. It directly affects individuals seeking housing assistance, grants, or services under the act by requiring them to meet specific immigration status criteria. The legislation defines "qualified alien" using the existing federal definition found in U.S. law, ensuring the state's requirements align with national standards. If enacted, the change would prevent non-citizens who do not meet these federal immigration categories from receiving state-funded housing support.
