Prohibiting fines and fees from being assessed against a juvenile or a juvenile's parent, guardian or custodian in a case pursuant to the revised Kansas juvenile justice code.

SB 111 prohibits courts from imposing fines, fees, costs, or other financial obligations against juveniles or their parents, guardians, or custodians in cases under Kansas' juvenile justice code. It retroactively discharges all existing outstanding financial debts related to juvenile cases as of July 1, 2025, and requires immediate release from detention or supervision for juveniles held solely due to unpaid fees. The bill also bars collection of such debts through third-party agents and excludes restitution (payments for harm caused) from the prohibition. This applies directly to all juvenile court proceedings in Kansas, affecting families and youth involved in the state's juvenile justice system.
