Provides for support and services for unaccompanied minors with no lawful immigration status

S 1650 creates new state-funded support services for unaccompanied minors in New York - defined as children under 18 without lawful immigration status who entered the U.S. without a parent/guardian or were separated from them. The bill requires New York to provide legal representation in immigration court and appeals, along with health services, counseling, language assistance, school enrollment help, and employment support - all delivered in a culturally competent, trauma-informed way. It mandates informational materials in multiple languages for agencies and explicitly states these services won’t count as "public benefits" that could harm immigration status under federal law. The law applies directly to unaccompanied minors in New York’s care, including those under federal custody before being released to sponsors.
