Authorizes provision of comprehensive health care coverage to undocumented immigrant aliens.

Summary

The bill lets an undocumented immigrant who lives in New Jersey receive state‑funded emergency medical treatment when they would otherwise be eligible for Medicaid except for their immigration status. The health department must set up the needed systems and try to get federal money to help pay for the care; if no federal funds are available, the state will cover the costs. The law only applies to emergency situations, not full health‑coverage benefits.
