Adding harboring or concealing a person who has violated terms of probation to the crime of obstructing apprehension or prosecution.

SB 155 adds harboring or concealing someone alleged to have violated probation terms to the crime of obstructing apprehension or prosecution. This means helping a person avoid consequences for breaking probation rules - like missing meetings or failing drug tests - becomes a punishable offense. Penalties range from a class C misdemeanor (for minor violations) to a severity level 8 felony (for serious underlying offenses), depending on the original probation violation. The bill updates Kansas law to explicitly include probation violations under existing obstruction statutes.
