What’s in it

This bill requests the legislative council to establish an interim study committee for the 2019 legislative interim. The bill requires the study committee to evaluate the impact of state assistance program income restriction guidelines. The bill requires the committee to specifically evaluate the financial impact of a modest increase in income coupled with a resulting ineligibility for state assistance programs, commonly referred to as the “cliff effect”, on current and former participants in state assistance programs including but not limited to state child care assistance and food assistance. The committee is required to submit a report to the governor and the general assembly by December 21, 2019.
