The bill establishes a new section in Alaska's law regarding the summer electronic benefits transfer program for children. It mandates that the department responsible for social services take all necessary actions to qualify for and administer federal funds associated with this program. Additionally, the department is required to adopt regulations to effectively implement the program.

The bill defines the "summer electronic benefits transfer program" as the federal initiative authorized by U.S.C. 1762, which aims to provide financial assistance to children during the summer months when school meals are not available. This legislative action seeks to enhance support for children in need during the summer period by ensuring that the state can access and manage these federal resources.
