        AN ACT to amend the social services law, in  relation  to  coverage  for

          whose immigration status renders him or  her  ineligible  for  federal

     2  adding a new subdivision 3-a to read as follows:
     3    3-a. Alternate eligibility. A person shall also be eligible to receive
     4  coverage  for  health  care services under this title, without regard to
     5  federal financial participation, if he or she is a resident of New  York
     6  state,  has  household  income  below two hundred percent of the federal
     7  poverty line as defined  and  annually  revised  by  the  United  States
     8  department  of  health  and  human  services for a household of the same
     9  size, and is ineligible for federal financial participation in the basic
    10  health program under 42 U.S.C. section 18051 on the basis of immigration

    22  health shall make regulations and take other actions  reasonably  neces-
    23  sary to implement this act on that date.
