Expands hearsay exception for statements made to healthcare providers in Kansas.
This bill amends Kansas law to expand the hearsay exception for statements made to healthcare providers. Specifically, it allows statements made to any healthcare provider, not just physicians, to be admissible in court if the declarant is unavailable as a witness and the statement was made for the purpose of medical treatment or diagnosis. This change aims to ensure that critical medical information can be used in legal proceedings when the patient is unable to testify.
