TO CREATE THE PROOF OF RESIDENCY FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE ACT; TO AMEND THE LAW REGARDING PUBLIC ASSISTANCE; AND TO REQUIRE PROOF OF RESIDENCY FOR ADULT APPLICANTS.

House Bill 1908, titled the "Proof of Residency for Public Assistance Act," aimed to amend Arkansas law regarding public assistance. The bill proposed requiring adult applicants for public assistance to provide proof that they reside in the state. State agencies or political subdivisions administering public assistance would be tasked with verifying an applicant's residency. Acceptable forms of proof could include a utility bill, bank statement, Arkansas driver's license, or state-issued identification card, generally dated within six months of the application.
