eliminating liability for support and recovery over certain indigent relations.
HB 132 eliminates legal liability for entities providing support or pursuing recovery claims related to individuals in financial hardship (referred to as "indigent relations" in the bill). It directly affects nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, and other providers who assist low-income individuals, removing potential lawsuits for their support activities. The bill does not specify exact eligibility criteria or mechanisms for "recovery" claims, as this detail is not provided in the context. It takes effect January 1, 2026, after being signed by the governor on August 1, 2025.
