The bill establishes the "affordable healthcare for Kansans program," which aims to expand eligibility for medical assistance in Kansas. The program will be administered by the Department of Health and Environment, which will also provide information to potential eligible individuals. The legislation allows for an increase in income limits for eligibility, specifically raising the threshold to 138% of the federal poverty level for adults under 65 years of age who are not pregnant. This change will take effect on January 1, 2027, and aligns with federal provisions under 42 U.S.C. 1396a.

Additionally, the bill includes a legislative consent to expand eligibility for benefits under the Kansas program of medical assistance, as required by existing law. The act will become effective upon its publication in the statute book.
