HB 2754 Kansas House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Enacting the providing civil relief from coerced debt act to provide protections and remedies for victims of certain debts constituting a coerced debt because of actions by another individual within the context of domestic violence.

HB 2754 creates a legal process for domestic violence victims to dispute debts incurred through abuse. It defines "coerced debt" as personal debts (not secured by property) resulting from tactics like fraud, intimidation, or misuse of personal information during domestic violence. Victims who provide a "statement of coerced debt" plus documentation (e.g., police reports, court orders, or verified third-party statements) can force creditors to stop collection efforts, remove negative credit reports, return payments, and halt lawsuits within 10 business days. The law specifically targets debts caused by economic abuse, such as restricting access to money or stealing resources, and applies only to personal debts.
