What changed in the latest version
101 added · 109 removedPlain-language change summary
In the latest version of Senate Bill 1002, a line has been added specifying that cases involving public welfare verification will be reported to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona. Additionally, the language referring to individuals claiming to reside in a particular district has been removed. This change clarifies the process of how welfare verification issues are handled and ensures cases are directed to the appropriate authorities, which may help improve the accountability and integrity of public welfare programs.
