PUBLIC BENEFITS – Amends existing law to provide that verification of lawful presence is not required to apply for or receive crime victims compensation.
Signed by Governor on 03/23/26 Session Law Chapter 100 Effective: 07/01/2026
Summary
The bill amends Idaho’s public‑benefits verification rules so that anyone 18 or older applying for or receiving crime‑victims compensation no longer has to verify lawful presence in the United States. The change applies only to this compensation program; all other state and federal public benefits still require the usual verification. It is intended to ensure victims can receive timely compensation regardless of immigration status.
