Requires undocumented immigrants to submit to the same level of background checks as lawful immigrants in order to use certain state resources
This bill requires undocumented immigrants to undergo background checks before they can access specific state aid programs, such as medical assistance, family support, and services for the elderly or disabled. The law mandates that these individuals cooperate with officials to verify they have not committed serious crimes, joined terrorist groups, or falsely claimed citizenship. If an undocumented person has a history of substance use, they must also consent to and receive appropriate treatment to qualify for benefits. The legislation applies immediately to all relevant rules and regulations upon its enactment.
