Missouri HB 2468 would modify eligibility requirements for public assistance benefits, with provisions tied to immigration enforcement. The bill was placed back on the House formal perfection calendar on May 7, 2026, and has not been enacted.
Constitutional basis: State legislation conditioning public benefits on immigration status touches equal protection guarantees; bill still mid-perfection with no enactment or judicial review.
