Establishing the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders task force to study fetal alcohol spectrum disorders in the state.

HB 2317 establishes a 12-member task force within Kansas' Department of Health and Environment to study the effects and prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) in the state. The task force includes legislators, healthcare professionals, educators, foster parents, and advocates, with members appointed by state officials by July 2025. It will examine FASD impacts and may recommend legal or regulatory changes, but does not enact new laws itself. The task force expires December 31, 2026, and its work directly affects state agencies coordinating health, education, and social services related to FASD.
