      "title": "California's Proposition 187: A Brief Overview",
      "summary": "On September 13, 1999, a U.S. district judge approved an agreement to end litigation\nchallenging\nCalifornia's Proposition 187, a 1994 ballot initiative to deny illegal aliens state benefits and to\nrequire reporting of illegal alien applicants for benefits to federal immigration officials. This\nagreement effectively continues earlier court-imposed restraints on implementing Prop 187. \nMeanwhile, federal law enacted in 1996 denies illegal aliens most state-provided benefits funded in\npart by the federal government and authorizes California to deny illegal aliens many other benefits\nthat would have been denied had Prop 187 been implemented. In a reversal of policy, however,\nCalifornia has now restored state-financed prenatal care for illegal aliens and is also considering\neasing other restrictions that it had imposed after the 1996 law.",
