4-110. Public benefits; verification of lawful presence; exemptions; legislative findings.
Verification of lawful presence in the United States pursuant to section 4-108 is not required for:
(1) Any purpose for which lawful presence in the United States is not restricted by law, ordinance, or regulation;
(2) Assistance for health care services and products, not related to an organ transplant procedure, that are necessary for the treatment of an emergency medical condition, including emergency labor and delivery, manifesting itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity, including severe pain, such that the absence of immediate medical attention could reasonably be expected to result in (a) placing the patient's health in serious jeopardy, (b) serious impairment to bodily functions, or (c) serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part;
(3) Short-term, noncash, in-kind emergency disaster relief;
(4) Public health assistance for immunizations with respect to diseases and for testing and treatment of symptoms of communicable diseases, whether or not such symptoms are caused by a communicable disease; or
(5) Programs, services, or assistance necessary for the protection of life or safety, such as soup kitchens, crisis counseling and intervention, and short-term shelter, which (a) deliver in-kind services at the community level, including those which deliver such services through public or private, nonprofit agencies and (b) do not condition the provision of assistance, the amount of assistance provided, or the cost of assistance provided on the income or resources of the recipient.
The Legislature finds that unborn children do not have immigration status and therefor are not within the scope of section 4-108. Prenatal care services available pursuant to sections 68-915 and 68-972 to unborn children, whose eligibility is independent of the mother's eligibility status, shall not be deemed to be tied to the immigration status of the mother and therefor are not included in the restrictions imposed by section 4-108.
