Kansas HB2508 prohibits healthcare providers from prescribing medication, administering diagnostic tests, or conducting ongoing behavioral health.

Kansas HB2508 amends state law to prohibit healthcare providers from prescribing medication, administering diagnostic tests, or conducting ongoing behavioral health treatments to minors at school facilities unless a parent consents. Exceptions include consent for surgery, medical care for pregnant minors, blood donation, immunizations, care for children, emergency care, venereal disease treatment, and drug abuse treatment. The bill also allows behavioral health assessments or interventions for minors experiencing a crisis. Violators face professional discipline from their licensing agency.
