What was being voted on
119-SAMDT-2401 — Amendment SA 2401 ruled out of order by the chair.
SA 2401, submitted by Mrs. Blackburn, aims to stop federal financial participation in Medicaid and CHIP for people who do not have verified citizenship, nationality, or a satisfactory immigration status. The amendment seeks to change the bill by adding the following: Prohibiting Funds: It prevents federal funds from being used for medical assistance given to individuals during the "reasonable opportunity" periods to provide evidence of citizenship, nationality, or immigration status, unless that status is verified by the end of the period and the State has elected a specific option.
