Vote Yes on this bill if you want hospitals to ask about immigration status at intake, submit aggregated no-name data to the state, and require annual reports on uncompensated care costs for undocumented patients and impacts on hospital funding.

Organizations that support this bill may include immigration enforcement advocacy groups, fiscal watchdog organizations seeking data on uncompensated care, and policymakers who favor statewide reporting on hospital use by immigration status.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid immigration status questions in hospital intake, prevent new reporting mandates and possible chilling effects on care-seeking, and reject state tracking of hospital use by immigration status.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include immigrant rights groups, medical and public health associations, privacy and civil liberties advocates, and hospital systems concerned about patient trust and administrative burden.
