HB 2389 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring certain prior convictions to be considered in determining bond when a person is arrested for certain sex offenses.

HB 2389 requires Kansas courts to consider a person's prior convictions when setting bond for individuals arrested on certain sex offenses. This applies specifically to defendants charged with particular sex crimes who have previous convictions. The bill amends Kansas statutes K.S.A. 22-2802 and 22-2803 to mandate that magistrates factor prior convictions into bond decisions for these cases. It directly affects people arrested for specified sex offenses with a history of similar prior convictions.
