The Kansas Medical Rights of Conscience Act allows healthcare professionals to refuse to provide transgender healthcare services if doing so conflicts with their personal conscience. The bill defines key terms such as "discriminated against," "healthcare institution," and "healthcare professional," and establishes that no healthcare institution or professional can be compelled to perform or assist in procedures or medications that contradict their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. Additionally, it creates a civil cause of action for those who believe they have been discriminated against for exercising their rights under this act.

The legislation also prohibits any adverse actions against healthcare professionals for reporting violations of the act or for engaging in protected speech related to their conscience rights. It ensures that healthcare professionals cannot be denied public benefits or employment opportunities based on their exercise of conscience rights. Furthermore, it clarifies that the act does not permit the denial of essential medical treatments, visitation rights, or the recognition of designated representatives for healthcare decision-making. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
