A legal immigrant who is a resident of the state of Colorado shall be eligible to receive services under this part 1 so long as he or she meets the eligibility requirements. As used in this section, "legal immigrant" has the same meaning as described in section 25.5-4-103 (10). As a condition of eligibility for services under this part 1, a legal immigrant shall agree to refrain from executing an affidavit of support for the purpose of sponsoring an alien on or after July 1, 1997, under rules promulgated by the immigration and naturalization service, or any successor agency, during the pendency of such legal immigrant's receipt of services under this part 1. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect a legal immigrant's eligibility for services under this part 1 based upon such legal immigrant's responsibilities under an affidavit of support entered into before July 1, 1997.
