Bill > AB308

This bill creates a new statute (Section 20.926) that prohibits state, county, city, village, town, and long-term care district funds from being used to provide health care services to individuals who are not legally present in the United States. The bill specifically bars any state or local government funds, including federal funds passing through the state treasury, from subsidizing, reimbursing, or compensating for health services for undocumented immigrants. However, the bill includes two important exceptions: first, if federal law requires payment of such funds, the prohibition does not apply; and second, the restriction cannot be implemented in a way that would cause a loss of federal funding. The legislation appears aimed at restricting access to publicly funded health services for individuals without legal immigration status, while also ensuring that such restrictions do not jeopardize existing federal funding streams for state and local governments.
