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 chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder, diabetes, and more, which adversely affect a child's educational performance. The bill aims to ensure that children with these health impairments receive appropriate educational support.

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. By incorporating these changes, the legislation seeks to enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of educational services for exceptional children, particularly those with health-related challenges.
