Bill Summary
CONCERNING REQUIREMENTS FOR AFFIDAVITS OF SUPPORT RELATED TO ELIGIBILITY FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS IN COLORADO.
AI Summary
This bill aims to remove the prohibition on lawful permanent residents in Colorado from sponsoring individuals, usually family members, to immigrate to the United States. It requires the county departments responsible for administering benefits programs to identify and remove any references to this prohibition from their guidance materials, forms, training materials, websites, and other communications provided to applicants or beneficiaries. This change is intended to address the finding that lawful permanent residents are treated differently than U.S. citizens, who are allowed to sponsor immigrants, leading to unnecessary family separation.
