HOUSE BILL NO. 71

INTRODUCED BY G. VANCE

A BILL FOR AN ACT ENTITLED: "AN ACT PROVIDING THAT CERTAIN ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION WAGE-LOSS AND MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR A WORK-RELATED INJURY OR DISEASE; AND AMENDING SECTION 39-71-118, MCA."


BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MONTANA:

NEW SECTION. Section 1. Payment of benefits to aliens. (1) Wage-loss and medical benefits for a work-related injury or disease may not be paid under this chapter to an alien unless the alien is an individual who was lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time the injury occurred, was lawfully present for the purposes of performing the services that resulted in the work-related injury or disease, or was permanently residing in the United States under color of law at the time the services that resulted in the work-related injury or disease were performed.

(2) Any data or information required of an individual applying for benefits to determine whether benefits are not payable to the individual because of the individual's alien status must be uniformly required from all applicants for benefits.

(3) In the case of an individual whose application for benefits would otherwise be approved, a determination that benefits to the individual are not payable because of the individual's alien status may not be made except upon a preponderance of the evidence.

States may bar comp for illegal immigrants

With conservative lawmakers in control in several states, more legislation is being introduced that would deny workers compensation benefits to illegal immigrants who are hurt on the job.

And while such efforts have failed in recent years, today's changed political climate could result in some of that legislation becoming law this time around, some say.

Bills that would bar illegal immigrants from collecting workers comp benefits are pending in Georgia, Montana, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
