SB 127 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Expanding the hearsay exception for statements made to a physician to all healthcare providers.

SB 127 expands a legal exception allowing certain statements to be used as evidence in court. Currently, statements made to physicians can be admitted under this exception; the bill broadens it to include *all* healthcare providers (such as nurses, therapists, or counselors). This means statements shared with these professionals during treatment could be presented as evidence in court proceedings. The change affects cases where such statements might be relevant, like in medical malpractice or personal injury claims involving healthcare interactions.
