Bill > H105

This bill proposes to amend existing law to require that individuals must be citizens of the Commonwealth and residents of the Commonwealth with proper verifiable documents or identification from their country of origin to receive "Federal Public Benefits," which are defined by federal law (specifically Title 8 of the United States Code, section 1611), and "State Public Benefits," also defined by federal law (Title 8 of the United States Code, section 1621). This change aims to restrict access to these public benefits, which are government assistance programs, to a narrower group of individuals who can prove both their residency and their legal status from their home country, unless other federal, general, or special laws explicitly allow for exceptions.
