SB 207 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Requiring the Kansas children's cabinet and the department of health and environment to implement a pilot program to offer health services, telehealth consultations and medication reimbursements to child care providers, while prohibiting stricter local regulations, allowing local registration of providers, increasing state funding for the child and adult care food program and providing free training and education materials to providers.

SB 207 establishes a pilot program providing health services, telehealth consultations, and up to $100 monthly medication reimbursements to licensed child care providers in Kansas. It prohibits local governments from imposing stricter regulations on child care providers than state law requires and mandates the state to provide lists of licensed providers to local authorities upon request. The bill also matches state funding for in-home and group-home child care providers to the highest federal reimbursement tier under the Child and Adult Care Food Program and requires free training materials and orientation for providers. These provisions directly affect licensed child care providers, including family homes and group facilities, by improving access to health support and standardizing regulatory requirements statewide.
