Removing certain terms relating to individuals with intellectual disabilities.
HB 2672 updates Kansas statutes by replacing outdated and disrespectful terms like "retarded" and "mentally retarded" with "intellectual disability" in two specific laws. It amends K.S.A. 76-6b04 (which describes tax revenues for state institutions) and K.S.A. 76-17d01 (which relates to acquiring property for a state institution). The bill removes the old terminology and repeals the previous sections of these statutes. This change directly affects how state law refers to individuals with intellectual disabilities, ensuring language aligns with current, respectful standards without altering the underlying policies.
