Comments
HB439 and other bills (HB45, etc.) that are designed to restrict services to nonprofits or require nonprofits to verify legal presence of those who use services are duplicative and unnecessary. Worse, HB439 would have the impact of impeding service delivery and could harm quality of life in communities as resources are diverted from serving those in need. House Rules Committee apparently heard the message this year as this bill did not advance!
