Consolidates scattered provisions about food assistance program requirements into a dedicated subsection (c), including gross income standards, resource limits, work requirements, and citizenship eligibility rules

Moves child care subsidy program requirements into a separate subsection (d), including eligibility rules for non-TANF child care, post-secondary education limits of 24 months per adult, and child support cooperation penalties

Updates terminology throughout, replacing "temporary assistance for needy families" with "TANF" and "cohabiting boyfriend or girlfriend" with "cohabiting partner"

Repeals K.S.A. 39-757 and K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 39-709 and takes effect upon publication in the statute book
