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 provision will result in escalating penalties, with a first conviction classified as a severity level 6 felony, a second as a severity level 5 felony, and a third or subsequent conviction as a severity level 3 felony. This new section is intended to supplement the existing Kansas offender registration act.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes related to the Kansas offender registration act, specifically K.S.A. 22-4901 and K.S.A. 22-4902, by deleting certain references and clarifying definitions related to offenders, including sex offenders, violent offenders, and drug offenders. The amendments also refine the definitions of terms such as "school," "employment," and "residence," and introduce new language regarding the registration process and the treatment of juvenile offenders. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
