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 or increases costs without explicit legislative approval. This includes changes to funding structures, day services, or targeted case management services for individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The bill allows for exceptions when the legislature is not in session, permitting state agencies to request approval from the legislative coordinating council, which must act on such requests within 14 days.

Additionally, the bill defines "public assistance program" and "state agency" according to existing Kansas statutes. It emphasizes the need for legislative oversight and consent for significant changes to public assistance programs, ensuring that any expansions or cost increases are carefully considered by elected representatives. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
