Commencement not set.
A sensitive categories rule binding private bodies.
As of 28 August 2026.
What it requires
- Do not require, request, or use a Kansas health-benefit-plan applicant's or enrollee's genetic test results to condition coverage, set rates, or adjust premiums.
- If you are a life, disability-income, or long-term-care insurer, this coverage and rate restriction does not apply to you directly, but a narrower after-acquired-use restriction still does.
What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Bars a health-benefit insurer from requiring, requesting, or using an individual's genetic test results to condition coverage, set rates, or adjust premiums. The restriction does not apply to a life, disability-income, or long-term-care insurer, though even those insurers face a narrower after-acquired-use restriction. This is an insurance-underwriting nondiscrimination statute, not a data-processing or retention duty, and it does not define sensitive data as a category.
