SSB 1167: Relating to the recovery of benefits inappropriately obtained from the department of homeland security and emergency management

Died when the session ended · The General Assembly adjourned on October 2, 2026. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

Under current law, the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing (DIAL) has the authority to collect payments inappropriately obtained from the department of health and human services. This bill expands those provisions to allow DIAL to collect payments inappropriately obtained from the department of homeland security and emergency management (HSEM). The bill makes benefits obtained through false, misleading, incomplete, or inaccurate information given to HSEM a lien in favor of the state upon a person’s property and requires county recorders to prepare and maintain in the recorder’s office an index of liens owed to HSEM.
