The bill establishes that tenure for faculty members at postsecondary educational institutions in Kansas is discretionary and conditional, and it explicitly states that tenure does not create any entitlement, right, or property interest in a faculty member's current, ongoing, or future employment. The board of regents and institutions are prohibited from defining or recognizing tenure as an entitlement, and any existing tenure awards will not be considered as such. Furthermore, the bill allows institutions to revoke, limit, alter, or modify any special benefits or preferences associated with tenure at any time.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of key terms such as "faculty," "institution," "state board of regents," and "tenure." It emphasizes that while tenure may confer certain benefits, it is contingent upon future meritorious performance and does not infringe upon a faculty member's constitutionally protected rights. The act will take effect upon its publication in the Kansas register.
