WELFARE – Amends existing law to remove certain provisions for verification of lawful presence to receive public benefits.
RS31311 / H0615
This legislation addresses benefits currently available to illegal aliens who come to Idaho. This bill leaves in place access to emergency medical services for illegal aliens currently authorized by the Idaho Code. The bill removes non-emergency health care benefits and some social benefits. The purpose of this legislation is to cause Idaho to not be a magnet that draws illegal aliens to Idaho.
This legislation reduces some social and health care benefits currently available to illegal aliens. As access to these benefits are not tracked by who is here legally or illegally, it is not possible to know how much will be saved by this legislation.
