limiting local assistance to U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents.

HB 458 would restrict local government programs from providing assistance to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents. It would require local agencies to limit services like housing, food aid, or social programs to only those meeting these residency status criteria. The bill was referred to committee, but on September 24, 2025, the committee voted 17-0 to report it as "inexpedient to legislate," effectively halting further progress. This means the bill did not advance to a full legislative vote or become law.
