Introduced·1/15/26

Kansas HB2465 protects professionals and businesses from adverse actions based on beliefs unrelated to their profession.

The Kansas Professionals' Freedom of Expression Act shields professionals and businesses from discrimination by governmental entities or private licensing organizations due to their beliefs or expressions unrelated to their profession. This protection is integrated into the real estate brokers' and salespersons' license act, prohibiting denial of access, membership, or participation in real estate organizations and adverse actions based on beliefs. The act also amends existing laws and repeals certain sections to incorporate these protections.
