The bill prohibits law enforcement officers and agencies in Kansas from engaging in motorcycle profiling, defined as making decisions to stop, question, or search individuals based solely on their motorcycle use or related attire. It allows individuals who believe they have been subjected to motorcycle profiling to file complaints with the attorney general or take legal action in district court for damages and attorney fees. Additionally, all law enforcement agencies are required to adopt written policies against motorcycle profiling and mandate annual training for officers to reduce such practices.

Furthermore, the bill amends K.S.A. 74-5604a to include mandatory training on motorcycle profiling for law enforcement officers, ensuring they are educated on how to avoid such profiling. The director of police training is tasked with establishing training programs that address this issue, alongside other law enforcement training requirements. The previous version of K.S.A. 74-5604a is repealed, and the new provisions will take effect upon publication in the statute book.
