AI Summary
This bill amends various Acts to make changes concerning references to noncitizen individuals. The key provisions include:
- Removing the term "alien" and replacing it with "noncitizen" or "person lawfully present" in various statutes, including those related to notaries, employment programs, higher education, health care, professional licensing, public assistance, military service, and firearms ownership.
- Clarifying eligibility requirements for certain state programs and services to focus on citizenship status and work authorization rather than immigration status.
- Ensuring noncitizen individuals have the same rights as citizens to acquire and hold real and personal property.
- Prohibiting the use of the term "alien" in a derogatory manner.
The bill is intended to remove dehumanizing language from Illinois law and ensure noncitizens are treated equitably, without making any substantive changes to eligibility requirements or program access. The changes take effect immediately upon the bill becoming law.
