What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services and the Department of

Children and Families to perform, every three months, a comparison of each

department's respective public benefit database information against nationally

recognized databases, including the federal Social Security Administration's Death

Master File, that contain information on death records. Based on that comparison,

DHS and DCF must then remove from that department's public benefit databases

those individuals that the department has determined are deceased.
