Summary
Preserving Safety Net Integrity Act of 2023
This bill enacts with the force and effect of law the final rule of the Department of Homeland Security titled Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds and published on August 14, 2019. The bill also nullifies the final rule issued by DHS titled Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility and published on September 9, 2022.
The 2019 final rule made it more likely that a non-U.S. national (alien under federal law) would be denied admission or lawful permanent resident status because that individual is likely to become a public charge (i.e., receive certain public benefits).
The 2022 final rule nullified the 2019 final rule.
