The language has to be explicit if it is going to make any difference whatsoever. It has to be a certified document received directly from the issuing agency, together with the transaction logs which would reveal when the document was created and/or amended.

I know it’s a pain to have something longer, but a bill that I believe would effectively close the loopholes is posted at http://butterdezillion.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/final-short-form-eligibility-bill1.pdf .

I'm not a barrister so I can't pass judgement on the form one way or the other, BUT it looks good to me. ;^)

There are a few other states, a dozen or so, that are anywhere from the talking stage to submitted bills. Some more samples:

ARIZONA last year died in the senate.
TEXAS, submitted this year; short and sweet. Gotta luvit.
IDAHO stalled last year for some reason.

I wish there was a clearinghouse site for these eligibility initiatives. If there is one, I can't find it.
