Bill Summary

An Act relating to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority; amending 63 O.S. 2021, Section 5006, which relates to the Authority's powers and duties; requiring the Authority to use certain federal immigration reporting systems; requiring the Authority to report certain applicants to the Office of the Attorney General; requiring the Office to review cases; requiring notification of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in certain circumstances; and providing an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to use a federal system called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) to check the immigration status of individuals applying for benefits. If an applicant's legal status in the United States cannot be confirmed through SAVE, the Authority must report this to the Office of the Attorney General, which will then review the case and potentially notify the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) if the applicant's presence is unverifiable. Additionally, the Authority must post a notice on its website and application portal informing applicants that their immigration status will be reviewed and that ICE may be notified if it's unverified. This bill is set to become effective on October 1, 2026.
