The bill establishes new restrictions for sex offenders aged 18 and older who have committed crimes against minors, making it unlawful for them to enter school property or attend school activities. Violations of this law will result in escalating penalties: a severity level 6 felony for a first offense, a severity level 5 felony for a second offense, and a severity level 3 felony for a third or subsequent offense. This new section will be incorporated into the existing Kansas offender registration act.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes related to the Kansas offender registration act, including the definitions of "offender" and "sex offender," and repeals certain sections of the law. Notably, it clarifies that certain juvenile offenses will not require registration under the act. The bill aims to enhance the safety of school environments by restricting access for individuals with a history of sexual offenses against minors.
