Kansas HB2227 amends the state's juvenile justice code to prohibit the use of prone restraint on any juvenile who is in custody at a juvenile detention facility or juvenile correctional facility, or being assessed as part of the juvenile intake and assessment system.

This change aims to protect the safety and well-being of juveniles within the state's correctional and detention facilities.
