Republican Gov. Sam Brownback signed House Bill 2258 into law Thursday. The measure means Kansas families receiving government assistance will no longer be able to use those funds to visit swimming pools, see movies, go gambling or get tattoos on the state’s dime.
Those are just a few of the restrictions contained within the law that aims to tighten regulations on how poor families spend their government aid. It will go into effect July 1.

I Like Kansas - Maryland, why don't you take some lessons from Kansas.
If you leeches have a problem with that...GET A JOB!
Why on Earth was this ever ALLOWED in the first place!! Wow....
yeah why was this allowed period ?
And suddenly, an upswing in widescreen TV sales and video rentals.
What the hell? Gov't assistance is for keeping a family alive not keeping them entertained.
The title is rather sensationalistic and misleading, They are not "banned" from going swimming, they simply can't use their EBT cards to purchase tattoos and going gambling.
Which is the way it should be,
3:43-I understand your concern,but EBT cards offer a "cash back" option which makes any attempt at regulation futile.
EBT stands for Entertainment, Beer, and Treats.
Cap welfare benefits at two kids. Don't give food stamps for school age children who are getting free lunch and breakfast at school.
To all, Maryland food benefits only buy bulk, raw, human food, period. No dog food, toasters, motor oil, pool admission, movie tickets or cars. The fact that Kentucky allowed this from a Federal program makes them liable for a payback to the Federal funding for this program.
Right?
