INITIATIVE MEASURE TO liE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS
The Attorney General of California has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and
olnts of the proposed initiative.
ILLEGAL ALIENS. INELIGIBILITY FOR PUBLIC SERVICES. VERIFICATION AND REPORTING.
INITIATIVE STATUTE. Makes illegal aliens ineligible for public social services, public health care services
(unless emergency under federal law), and attendance at public schimls {elementary, secondary, and post-
secondary). Requires various state and local agencies to report persons who are apparent illegal aliens to Ihe
California Attorney General and the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Mandales California
Attorney General to transmit reports to INS and maintain records of such reports. Makes it a felony to
manufacture, distribate, sell or use false citizenship or residence documents. Summary of estimate by
Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Annual savings al
the state level potentially in excess of $100 million from withholding health and social services to
undocumented persons. Annual savings at the local level potentially exceeding $200 million pr marily from
withholding medical care from undocumented'persons. School districts would likely incur additional costs of
tens of millions of dollars in the first two years of implementation and in excess of $10 million annually
thereafter, to verify the legal status of students, parents and guardians. Savings to education, if any, are
unknown.
