CT SB00390

Adds new subsection (e) to section 17b-93 requiring state liens against land interests to be recorded on municipal land records to be effective, and specifying that recorded liens cannot be enforced against holders of prior recorded interests in the same property.

Amends section 17b-93 to clarify that state claims against beneficiaries of aid programs (AFDC, TAFDC, medical assistance, state supplement, general assistance) remain valid and must be repaid from property acquired or income received by beneficiaries.

Establishes exemptions from state liens including payments under chapter 135, discrimination settlements or awards, court-ordered rent abatements, security deposit refunds, and property used as a home for beneficiaries.

Provides that when collected funds are subject to child support obligations in IV-D cases, Medicaid reimbursement is paid first, followed by child support distribution, with any remainder applied to prior assistance.

Both amended sections take effect October 1, 2018, with language preserving the validity of dispositions of real property made before that date without commissioner consent.
