Bill Summary

AN ACT concerning state agencies; requiring quarterly reports to the secretary of state of the names and addresses of noncitizens receiving public-funded benefits.

AI Summary

This bill requires every state agency that provides public assistance benefits to noncitizens to report specific personal information about these recipients to the secretary of state on a quarterly basis. This information includes the noncitizen's full name, date of birth, alien registration number, the last four digits of their social security number if available, and their driver's license or nondriver's identification card number if applicable, along with their residence address. The bill amends existing law by removing the broader categories of "public funds, scholarships or other public-funded benefits" and instead focuses on "public assistance benefits" for the reporting requirement. The national voter registration act of 1993, referenced in the bill, is a federal law that establishes procedures for voter registration.
