Chamber Passed·2/24/26

Kansas HB2762 amends the definition of unlawful sexual relations to clarify who is considered a person in a position of authority for a school.

Kansas HB2762 modifies the crime of unlawful sexual relations by specifying who is considered a person in a position of authority for a school. This includes any individual who is not a student, has been delegated authority by the school to interact with students, and is either a volunteer, designated to provide services, or a contractor or contractor employee. The bill amends K.S.A. 21-5512 and repeals the existing section to incorporate these changes. The new definition aims to provide clarity on the types of relationships that constitute unlawful sexual relations in a school setting.
