Preserving Safety Net Integrity Act of 2023

This bill enacts with the force and effect of law the final rule of the Department of Homeland Security titled 
Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds
 and published on August 14, 2019. The bill also nullifies the final rule issued by DHS titled
 Public Charge Ground of Inadmissibility 
 and published on September 9, 2022.

The 2019 final rule made it more likely that a non-U.S. national (
alien
 under federal law) would be denied admission or lawful permanent resident status because that individual is likely to become a public charge (i.e., receive certain public benefits).

The 2022 final rule nullified the 2019 final rule.
