Prohibiting aliens who are unlawfully present in the United States from receiving any state or local public benefit in accordance with applicable federal law.

HB 2373 prohibits non-citizens unlawfully present in the U.S. from receiving most state or local public benefits, directly affecting undocumented immigrants applying for aid. It requires applicants aged 18+ to provide proof of lawful presence (e.g., driver's license documents or federal verification) and mandates agencies to verify status through the federal DHS Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program. The bill excludes driver's licenses and identification cards from the restriction but prohibits undocumented immigrants from receiving reduced college tuition at public institutions. It also adds a requirement to verify immigration status for non-citizen defendants in criminal cases, creating a presumption they may flee if deemed unlawfully present.
