AI Summary
This bill amends Mississippi law to prohibit the use of funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program for college scholarships for individuals who are not currently receiving TANF benefits. TANF is a federal program that provides cash assistance to low-income families with children, and this change ensures that these funds are exclusively used for those who are eligible recipients of the program.
