SF 690 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

State-funded services for undocumented noncitizens prohibition provision and MinnesotaCare and the North Star Promise scholarship program ineligibility for undocumented noncitizens provision

SF 690 prohibits state-funded services - including MinnesotaCare health coverage and the North Star Promise scholarship program - from being provided to undocumented noncitizens. The bill amends Minnesota statutes to define undocumented noncitizens as those residing in the U.S. without approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, excluding them from eligibility for these state programs. It explicitly states that undocumented individuals cannot receive any financial aid, grants, or services paid for with state tax revenue. The changes take effect immediately upon final enactment, with the North Star Promise scholarship ineligibility applying to awards beginning fall 2025. This directly affects undocumented noncitizens seeking healthcare or postsecondary education support through state programs.
