MESSAGES FROM THE GOVERNOR

Senate Bill No. 394

An Act concerning consumer protection; relating to internet content that is harmful to minors; requiring age verification for access to such content; providing for civil penalties for violations; establishing a civil cause of action for damages, attorney fees and costs.

Message to the Legislature of the State of Kansas:

While well-meaning in its efforts to protect children from content the legislature considers ‘harmful to minors,’ this bill is vague in its application and may end up infringing on constitutional rights, which is an issue being litigated in other jurisdictions over similar bills. For that reason, I will allow this bill to become law without my signature.

Laura Kelly, Governor

Dated April 12, 2024.
