KS HB2710

School districts must provide parents a link to an "affirming parental rights webpage" on district and state department of education websites, with parents required to sign an affirming parental rights document during enrollment.

The attorney general must compile and annually update (by August 1) a listing of inalienable parental rights protected by federal and state laws, including U.S. Supreme Court interpretations.

Parents who believe their rights were violated may file written complaints with the school superintendent, who has 15 days to respond; unresolved complaints may be escalated to the state department of education, which has 40 days to investigate and report findings.

Aggrieved parents may bring civil actions for declaratory and injunctive relief, damages, and attorney fees, with the burden of proof on the school district to demonstrate compliance.

School districts face $5,000 civil penalties per violation, recoverable by the attorney general or county/district attorney, with the department required to submit annual reports on complaints and violations to the legislature.
