New registration, audits, and bonding for professional employer firms

PEOs must register with the Kansas secretary of state to co-employ most or all of a client’s workers; unregistered firms cannot offer these services or use PEO or employee-leasing terms. Registration and audits are annual and both due 120 days after the PEO’s fiscal year. Registrations issued on or after January 1, 2025, expire on October 15, 2026. Out-of-state PEOs may get a one-year limited registration if they have no Kansas office or solicitation and 50 or fewer Kansas covered workers. If a PEO lacks working capital, it must post a bond only with no market-value test; the secretary may issue interim permits, keep a public list, and allow e-filing and consolidated audits with cross-guarantees.
