This bill aims to prohibit state-funded services to undocumented noncitizens in Minnesota. It establishes that individuals who are undocumented or not lawfully present in the United States are ineligible to receive any services, payments, grants, loans, subsidies, or other forms of financial aid funded by state tax revenue. The bill also amends existing statutes to clarify that undocumented noncitizens are ineligible for MinnesotaCare and the North Star Promise scholarship program, with specific definitions and eligibility criteria outlined for these programs.

The bill includes several amendments to Minnesota Statutes, specifically sections 136A.1465 and 256L.04. Notably, it modifies the definition of "eligible student" to include only those who meet certain residency and eligibility requirements, while also clarifying that undocumented noncitizens are not eligible for MinnesotaCare. Additionally, the effective date for these changes is set for the day following final enactment, with specific provisions for scholarship awards beginning in the fall term of the 2025-2026 academic year.
