Asking Congress · Res 0315-2024

Amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow States to make medical assistance available to inmates during the 30-day period preceding their release

Official titleShow

Resolution calling on the United States Congress to pass and the President to sign, H.R.2400, which would amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow States to make medical assistance available to inmates during the 30-day period preceding their release.

The heading above is this same sentence with its legal opening removed. No words were added, changed or reordered.

Filed at end of sessionLatest action Dec 31, 2025
What this can and cannot do

This is a request, not a law. The City Council is asking the United States Congress to act, because the subject is outside the city's authority. Passing it commits the city to a position; it does not change the rule.

Summary

Amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to allow States to make medical assistance available to inmates during the 30-day period preceding their release. (H.R.2400)

Where it stands
