Amend CSHB 1 as follows:
On page II-98, insert the following and number appropriately:
Report to the United States Congress on services and benefits
provided to unlawfully present immigrants. The Health and Human
Services Commission shall compile a report of the cost of services
and benefits provided to unlawfully present immigrants, with the
agency determining the extent to which unlawfully present
immigrants are served by the agency, by individual program. The
agency may use a statistical method developed by the agency in cases
where it is not practical for the agency to directly determine
whether recipients of a service or benefit are unlawfully present
immigrants.
The Health and Human Services Commission shall also compile
information on this subject from each public hospital district
within the state and include this information in the report.
This report shall be provided to the United States Congress
by December 1, 2008 and may be used as supporting materials by the
State of Texas in requests for additional federal appropriations to
assist with these costs.
The Health and Human Services Agency shall also submit the
required report to the lieutenant governor, speaker of the house of
representatives, and members of the legislature by December 1,
2008, and shall include the information in the agency's annual
report for 2008.
