"Public Charge Transparency Act"; requires State entities which provide government assistance to inquire and record beneficiary's citizenship or immigration status and report cost of government assistance to illegal aliens.

This bill requires New Jersey state and local agencies that provide government assistance (like food, healthcare, housing, or utilities) to ask beneficiaries about their citizenship or immigration status and document it. Agencies must submit monthly, aggregated reports to the Department of Health showing the cost of assistance provided to individuals who cannot prove lawful presence (defined as "illegal aliens" under the bill), with all data made publicly available online. It mandates that applicants provide proof of status to receive aid and prohibits false statements about immigration status, with violations punishable as a fourth-degree crime. The bill directly affects agencies receiving state funding and people applying for state-provided benefits.
