Short description: 
PUB AID-NONCITIZENS                                                        

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends   the   Illinois   Public   Aid   Code.     Creates    the      
   Medicaid-Equivalent Medical Assistance program to provide State funded      
   medical assistance which is the equivalent of Medicaid for noncitizens      
   who  are  legal permanent residents or who are permanently residing in      
   the United States under color of law and all noncitizens under age 21.      
   Creates the Hunger Prevention Program.    Provides  State-funded  food      
   stamp  benefits to noncitizens who are lawfully admitted for permanent      
   residence and noncitizens who are permanently residing in  the  United      
   States  under  color  of  law.  The amount of State-funded food stamps      
   received is the difference between the amount of federal  food  stamps      
   actually  received and the amount of federal food stamps that would be      
   received if no members of the household were noncitizens of the United      
   States. Effective immediately.                                              
          STATE MANDATES FISCAL NOTE                                           
          In the opinion of DCCA, HB1205 fails to create a State mandate       
          under the State Mandates Act.                                        
          FISCAL NOTE (Dept. of Public Aid)                                    
          This legislation would result in a cost of $70 million.
