AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to provisions related to the well-being and care of children, and aid to parents with dependent children. Specifically, it strikes out the definition of "Child of record" from existing law, removes a subsection related to this definition, and amends other provisions to remove references to "child of record" and instead refer to children under the age of two years. The bill also modifies work-related activity requirements for heads of households or both parents in a two-parent family, based on the age of the youngest child in the family.
