HB2754

Kansas HB2754 provides protections and remedies for victims of coerced debt incurred due to domestic violence.

Kansas HB2754, known as the Providing Civil Relief from Coerced Debt Act, aims to protect victims of coerced debt resulting from domestic violence. The act defines "coerced debt" as a debt incurred due to economic abuse within the context of domestic violence. It exempts debtors from liability for such debts and allows them to raise this as a defense in any legal proceeding. Creditors must cease collection efforts and take specific actions upon receiving a debtor's statement of coerced debt and adequate documentation.
