Requiring any person who solicits a fee for filing or retrieving certain documents from the federal government, the state, a state agency or a local government to give certain notices to consumers and providing that violation of such requirements is a deceptive act or practice subject to penalties under the Kansas consumer protection act.

HB 2118 requires private companies that charge fees to help consumers file or retrieve government documents (like birth certificates or business filings) to provide clear, upfront notices. Specifically, these companies must include a prominent disclaimer stating "This is not a government offer" in large text, provide their physical address (not a PO box), and list how consumers can access government services directly. Violating these requirements would be treated as a deceptive practice under Kansas consumer law, subject to penalties. The bill targets misleading advertising practices, ensuring consumers aren’t confused into thinking they’re dealing with government offices when using private services.
