Bill > HB492

This bill creates a new legal section defining and restricting the use of state tax dollars in relation to undocumented immigrants. Specifically, the bill defines an "illegal alien" as any foreign national unlawfully present in the United States under federal immigration law (8 U.S.C. sec. 1325). The legislation prohibits state tax dollars appropriated by the Kentucky General Assembly from being used to compensate undocumented immigrants for any goods or services they might provide to government entities or other persons. Additionally, the bill tasks the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security with helping to implement and enforce this restriction, giving the agency the authority to create administrative regulations as needed to support the law's execution. The bill appears aimed at preventing state funds from being used to financially support individuals who are in the United States without legal authorization.
