Summary

Amends the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 to deny a displaced person eligibility to receive relocation payments or any other assistance under such Act if he or she is an alien not lawfully present in the United States, unless the displacing agency determines by clear and convincing evidence that an ineligibility determination would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to an individual who is: (1) the displaced person's spouse, parent, or child; and (2) a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. Requires the Department of Transportation (lead agency) under such Act to: (1) provide, through training and technical assistance activities for displacing agencies, information developed with the Attorney General on proper implementation of this Act; and (2) ensure that displacing agencies implement this Act fairly and without discrimination.
