Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.

Longer waits and possible expungement court charges

People convicted of fraudulent applications under K.S.A. 8-142 Fifth must wait at least five years before asking to clear their record. The wait follows completion of sentence or diversion terms, or discharge from supervision. From July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, the Kansas Supreme Court may charge up to $19 per expungement case. This pays for non-judge staff and must be the only fee or similar charge collected for the case.

Broader theft rules and felony vehicle penalties

Kansas theft rules cover taking control of stolen property or services when someone knows or has reason to know they were stolen. Stealing a motor vehicle worth at least $500 but less than $1,500 is a severity level 10 nonperson felony. Theft of other property worth less than $1,500 is generally a class A nonperson misdemeanor.

Kansas places mitragynine under strict drug controls

Kansas adds mitragynine to Schedule I of its controlled substances law. People and businesses that possess, make, distribute, or otherwise handle it face the legal controls for Schedule I drugs.
