Establishing the Kansas medical rights of conscience act to permit a healthcare provider to refuse to provide transgender healthcare services if such services violate the provider's conscience and creating a civil cause of action for violation of this act.

HB 2741, the Kansas Medical Rights of Conscience Act, allows healthcare providers (including doctors, nurses, and clinics) to refuse to provide gender-affirming medical care if it conflicts with their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs. The bill creates a civil lawsuit for providers who face discrimination (like job loss or denial of licenses) after exercising this right, and it prohibits denial of public benefits or employment based on this refusal. It explicitly does not affect emergency care, visitation rights, or the recognition of healthcare decision-makers. The law applies to specific procedures and medications referenced in Kansas statutes related to transgender care, but does not require providers to refer patients to other providers.
