Assembly Bill 308 seeks to establish a new statute, 20.926, which prohibits the use of state and local funds, as well as federal funds passing through the state treasury, for health care services provided to individuals who are unlawfully present in the United States. The bill specifies that no funds from the state, counties, villages, towns, long-term care districts, or any subdivisions or agencies of these entities can be used to subsidize, reimburse, or compensate for such health care services.

However, the bill includes exceptions to this prohibition. Specifically, it states that the funding restrictions do not apply if federal law requires the payment of such funds, or if enforcing the restrictions would lead to the loss of federal funds. This ensures that the bill aligns with federal requirements while still imposing limitations on state and local funding for health services to unlawfully present individuals.
