SB 389 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM RECEIVING TAXPAYER-FUNDED BENEFITS.

SB 389 would amend state law to prohibit the provision of taxpayer-funded benefits or social welfare services to undocumented immigrants. The bill directly affects undocumented immigrants who would no longer qualify for state-funded programs like food assistance or housing aid. Its key provision requires state agencies to deny such benefits to individuals without legal immigration status, as stated in the bill's purpose to reduce tax burdens on lawful residents. This is a policy change affecting eligibility for existing state programs, not a new benefit creation.
