Creates new provisions restricting the availability of public benefits to U.S. citizens

Summary

The bill requires anyone applying for state benefits such as SNAP or MO HealthNet to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, national status, or an eligible immigration status. Unlawfully present immigrants would be barred from most benefits, though emergency medical and related services would still be allowed. The measure was voted out of the Senate General Laws Committee and ultimately failed.
