The Honorable Susan Concannon, Chairperson
House Committee on Children and Seniors
Statehouse, Room 149-S
Topeka, Kansas 66612
Dear Representative Concannon:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for HB 2344 by House Committee on Children and Seniors
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2344 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2344 would establish standards regarding prescribing and administering antipsychotic
medications to residents of adult care homes. The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability
Services would be required to make available certain forms for obtaining informed consent for the
administration of antipsychotic medications to residents of adult care homes. The bill would
clarify what information would be included on the informed consent forms. The bill would also
specify that no antipsychotic medications could be administered to residents of adult care homes
without informed consent except under certain circumstances identified in the bill. Residents or
persons acting on behalf of a resident would be allowed to revoke informed consent, in writing, at
any time.
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services indicates enactment of HB 2344
would have no fiscal effect on the Department.


Sincerely,

Larry L. Campbell
Director of the Budget
