What this bill would do

The "Limiting ICE's Nationwide Encroachment Act," or "LINE Act," is a bill that prevents certain government agencies from sharing specific information. It prohibits the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services from disclosing individually identifiable health information of people enrolled in State Medicaid plans. This restriction applies specifically to data shared for the purpose of enforcing immigration laws, including sharing information with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
