AI Summary

This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to make undocumented noncitizens eligible for MinnesotaCare, the state's public health insurance program for low-income individuals. Previously, eligibility for MinnesotaCare was limited to U.S. citizens and lawfully present noncitizens, but this bill expands it to include undocumented noncitizens with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level. The amendment specifies that an undocumented noncitizen is an individual residing in the U.S. without the approval of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The new provisions will take effect on January 1, 2024.
