This bill mandates that, starting July 1, 2025, no state agency in Kansas can seek or implement any public assistance program waiver or authorization from the federal government that expands eligibility, increases costs, or alters services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities without explicit legislative approval. The bill allows the legislative coordinating council to approve such waivers when the legislature is not in session, or to designate a committee to review requests and make recommendations. Additionally, the bill specifies that existing state plan amendments or waiver programs in place before the effective date are not affected by this new requirement.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that any changes to funding structures, day services, or targeted case management services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities also require legislative consent. The definitions of "public assistance program" and "state agency" are provided, ensuring clarity on the scope of the bill. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
