This bill mandates that all state agencies in Kansas that provide public-funded benefits, including scholarships, to noncitizens must submit quarterly reports to the secretary of state. These reports must include the names and addresses of each noncitizen recipient of such benefits. The intent of the bill is to enhance transparency and accountability regarding the distribution of public funds to noncitizens.
The bill will take effect immediately upon its publication in the statute book, ensuring that the reporting requirement is implemented without delay. This legislative measure aims to create a systematic approach for tracking noncitizen beneficiaries of state-funded programs.
