Bill > HB348

This bill allows municipalities to set a residency requirement of up to 90 days for individuals applying for local assistance, which refers to financial aid provided by towns and cities to residents who are poor and unable to support themselves. Previously, the law stated that assistance should be provided regardless of residence, but this bill amends that by allowing municipalities to establish written guidelines for general assistance, including a condition that applicants must have lived in the municipality for a certain period, not exceeding 90 days, before they can receive aid. Acceptable proof of residency could include documents like a lease, car registration, or utility bill.
