Synopsis: Requires North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services, the Housing Authority, and unemployment agencies to verify that applicants are legal residents or American citizens before rendering state services. Also requires colleges to verify legal residents or American citizenship before approving a student's in-state tuition financial aid application.

This bill prioritizes the American citizen and legal residents who should have first dibs at public benefits and assistance. The fact that recently illegal aliens have been given priority is disheartening and frustrating. It's good to see a remedy on its way.
