Requiring offenders convicted of distribution of a controlled substance causing great bodily harm or death to register under the Kansas offender registration act.

SB 461 requires individuals convicted of distributing a controlled substance that causes great bodily harm or death to register under Kansas' offender registration act for 15 years. This new requirement applies specifically to drug distributors whose actions resulted in serious injury or death, expanding the existing registration categories beyond sex and violent offenders. The bill amends Kansas statutes (22-4902 and 22-4906) to add "drug offender" as a classification for those convicted under these specific circumstances. It does not change registration terms for other offender types but establishes a mandatory 15-year registration period for this new category.
