The proposed bill establishes the "Attorney Training Program for Rural Kansas Act," aimed at encouraging attorneys and law students to practice in rural areas of Kansas. It creates a fund to provide financial assistance to law students from Washburn University and the University of Kansas, who agree to practice law in rural communities after graduation. The program allows eligible law students to receive loans up to $30,000 per year for tuition and related expenses, which can be forgiven upon fulfilling specific obligations, including completing their law degree and practicing law in a rural community for at least 12 continuous months for each year they received a loan.

Additionally, the bill establishes an advisory committee to oversee the administration of both the law student training program and a separate loan repayment program for rural attorneys. This program will provide financial assistance to eligible rural attorneys, covering up to $20,000 per year for loan repayment, with a maximum of $100,000 over five years. The bill outlines eligibility criteria for both law students and attorneys, including residency in rural communities and engagement in the practice of law. The funds allocated for these programs will be managed by the judicial administrator and are subject to legislative appropriations.
