The bill, known as the "State Services and Benefits Legal Status and Accountability Act," establishes a new chapter in the Louisiana Revised Statutes aimed at ensuring accountability and transparency in the provision of state services and benefits. It mandates that various state agencies, including the Louisiana Department of Health and the Department of Education, determine the legal status of individuals receiving state services, specifically focusing on "illegal aliens" and "unaccompanied alien children." The agencies are required to collect data on the services provided to these individuals and report the total dollar value of such services annually to the governor, attorney general, and legislature.

Additionally, the bill outlines responsibilities for state agencies regarding data collection and verification processes to confirm the legal status of individuals seeking state services. It includes provisions for penalties, stating that funding may be withheld from agencies that fail to comply with the chapter's requirements. The implementation of this act is contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the legislature. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the state's ability to monitor and report on the impact of illegal immigration on public services.
