Kansas HB2302 amends the law to require law enforcement officers to consult with the secretary for children and families before taking a child into custody. The secretary must respond and offer consultation even outside of regular operating hours.

The bill also mandates that individuals providing shelter to runaways report the child's location to law enforcement and the secretary.
