"Public Charge Transparency Act"; requires State entities which provide government assistance to inquire and record beneficiary's citizenship or immigration status and report cost of government assistance to illegal aliens.

This bill requires all New Jersey state and local agencies that provide government assistance (like food, healthcare, housing, utilities, or legal aid) to ask recipients about their immigration status and document it as a condition of receiving aid. Agencies must then submit monthly, anonymized reports to the Department of Health showing the total cost of assistance provided to people without legal immigration status. The bill defines "illegal aliens" as individuals unable to prove lawful presence in New Jersey and makes knowingly providing false immigration status information a fourth-degree crime. It directly affects agencies receiving state funds that offer aid, aiming to track spending on undocumented residents through mandatory reporting.
