Disapproving of the rule submitted by the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility".

House Joint Resolution 41 is a proposal to change the criteria used by the federal government to determine if a non-citizen is likely to become a "public charge," which can lead to the denial of a visa or permanent residency (a green card). The resolution would overturn a 2022 Department of Homeland Security rule and reinstate a stricter 2019 policy. Under this reinstated policy, immigration officials would have broader authority to deny legal status to individuals who use, or are deemed likely to use, a wider range of public benefits such as Medicaid, food stamps (SNAP), or housing assistance.
