This bill amends K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 72-3404 to redefine the term "other health impairment" in the context of special education. The new definition includes children with fetal alcohol syndrome disorder, alongside other health issues such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, diabetes, and more, that result in limited strength, vitality, or alertness, adversely affecting a child's educational performance. The bill aims to ensure that children with these conditions are recognized and provided with the necessary special education services.

Additionally, the bill repeals the existing section of K.S.A. 2024 Supp. 72-3404, thereby updating the legal framework governing special education in Kansas. This change reflects a broader understanding of health impairments that can impact educational outcomes, ensuring that more children receive the support they need in the educational system. The act will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
