Session of 2026
SENATE BILL No. 441
By Committee on Education
2-2
AN ACT concerning education; relating to school districts; enacting the
applied behavior analysis services in school act; authorizing medically
necessary behavioral health services in schools to students with autism
and third-party payment for such services; requiring private providers
of such services to submit to a criminal history record check; requiring
school districts to adopt policies for the provision of such services;
amending K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 22-4714 and repealing the existing
section.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Kansas:
New Section 1. (a) Sections 1 through 4, and amendments thereto,
shall be known and may be cited as the applied behavior analysis services
in school act.
(b) (1) The Kansas legislature finds and declares that applied
behavior analysis treatment is one critical example of medically necessary
services that, when prescribed by a physician or other qualified healthcare
provider, may need to be delivered in a school setting for children with an
autism spectrum disorder diagnosis. Autism spectrum disorder is a global
developmental disorder typically involving difficulty in acquiring and
generalizing functional skills across environments. Generally accepted
standards of care for the autism population require that applied behavior
analysis therapy be provided across settings, including schools, in
accordance with a child's clinical needs.
(2) The legislature finds that it is in the interest of the child, the
child's family and the state that a child who is diagnosed with autism
spectrum disorder receive proper care and treatment in order to have the
opportunity to be a fully functioning individual in society. The lack of
access to medically necessary services in schools has detrimental effects
on children who are thereby unable to achieve maximum long-term
functioning, as well as significant social costs, including lost productivity
and increased costs of lifetime care. No family should have to choose
between having their child attend public school without access to
medically necessary care, which could risk the child's health and
functioning, or forgo public school so that such child can access medically
necessary behavior health services. Ensuring that children have access to
these services in school settings and allowing for third-party payment for

(ii) the overall financial resources of the school district involved in
the provision of the reasonable accommodation, the number of persons
that a school district is responsible for, including students and employees,
the effect on expenses and resources or the impact otherwise of such
accommodation upon the operation of the school district;

overall size of the school district with respect to the number of its students
and employees the number, type and location of its facilities; and
(iv) the type of operation or operations of the covered school district,
including the composition, structure and functions of the students and

or fiscal relationship of the school district or facilities in question to the
facility where services will be provided.
(B) Pursuant to section 2, and amendments thereto, a determination of
undue hardship shall be subject to legal precedent established with regard
to interpretation and understanding of the term "undue hardship" in any
legal proceedings on the Americans with disabilities act of 1990.
New Sec. 2. (a) No school district may prohibit a private provider
from providing medically necessary behavioral health services during
school hours to a student enrolled in and attending a school of the school
district if such services constitute a reasonable accommodation and were
requested by the student's parent. As part of such request, the parent shall
provide the school district with a behavior health evaluation performed by
an evaluator and an assessment and authorized treatment plan from a
private provider chosen by the parent that indicates that such services are
necessary during school hours to assist the student with behavioral health
conditions and functional impairments associated with a medical diagnosis
of autism spectrum disorder. The parent shall consent to release
information on a form and in a manner determined by the school district
that authorizes the release of information between the private provider and
the school district.
(b) (1) Upon the request for medically necessary behavioral health
services by a parent, the school district shall evaluate such medically
necessary behavioral health services to determine how such services can
be integrated with the student's schooling, if such services do not impose
an undue hardship or fundamental alteration to school operations as
provided in federal law. Any such services would be in addition to services
provided by the school district pursuant to the student's individualized
education program (IEP) and are not intended to supplant or replace the
obligations or responsibilities of a school district under the individuals
with disabilities education act. No school district may apply or use the
obligations of a student's IEP to deny or limit a student's access to
medically necessary behavioral health services from a private provider.

(2) A school district may utilize a review process to evaluate a
parent's request for medically necessary behavioral health services
pursuant to the Americans with disabilities act . Services required under
the Americans with disabilities act are not limited to or determined by
what is necessary for a free and appropriate public education and the
individuals with disabilities education act does not apply to a review for
medically necessary behavior health services. Participants in the review
may include members of the student's IEP team or 504 committee.
(c) If medically necessary behavioral health services are requested for
a student who does not currently have an IEP or 504 plan, the school
district may initiate an appropriate evaluation to determine if the child is
entitled to services under the individuals with disabilities education act or
section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973 in addition to the review
required by this section.
(d) No behavioral health evaluation, assessment or treatment plan
administered by a school district shall supplant or supersede the behavioral
health evaluation, assessment or treatment plan provided by an
independent behavioral health provider chosen by the student's parent.
(e) If the school district refuses to agree to a treatment protocol or
schedule because such protocol or treatment would impose an undue
hardship or fundamental alteration to school operations, the school district
and the parent shall engage in a dispute resolution process determined by
the Kansas state board of education in consultation with the Kansas
disability rights center and approved by the Kansas commission on
disability concerns.
(f) The medically necessary behavioral health services provided to a
student by a private provider shall be incorporated into a written treatment
plan.
(g) (1) The cost of all medically necessary behavioral health services
provided to a student by a private provider pursuant to this act shall be the
sole responsibility of the student's parent or other third-party payor.
(2) No school district may require a student to receive applied
behavioral analysis services or other medically necessary behavioral health
services from a school district employee or school district contractor if the
student or the student's parent chooses to use a private provider for such
services.
(3) Nothing in this act shall prohibit a school district from otherwise
providing applied behavior analysis services to a student at the school
district's expense.
(h) A school district shall be immune from liability in any civil action
that is based upon or arises from any actions taken by a private provider
while such provider is providing applied behavior analysis to a student on
school district property.

New Sec. 3. (a) No person who has been convicted of, pleaded no
contest to or entered into a criminal diversion agreement after having been
charged with a crime listed in K.S.A. 72-2165, and amendments thereto,
shall be allowed to provide medically necessary behavioral health services
to a student at a school during school hours. Prior to providing medically
necessary behavioral health services as provided in this section, school
districts shall require a private provider to be fingerprinted and submit to a
state and national criminal history record check in accordance with K.S.A.
2025 Supp. 22-4714, and amendments thereto.
(b) While on school district property, a private provider shall comply
with and abide by the requirements of any IEP, accommodation plan,
section 504 plan, behavioral management plan or individualized health
plan of a student who is a patient of such provider.
(c) A private provider who provides services pursuant to this act shall
maintain general liability insurance coverage in a reasonable amount, as
determined by the board of education of the school district. Such coverage
shall not be more than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 per
aggregate. The private provider shall provide a certificate of insurance
that names the school district as the certificate holder.
(d) To comply with the federal family educational rights and privacy
act, the private provider shall agree in writing that any education record is
under the school district's direct control and the private provider's use and
maintenance of an education record is subject to such act.
(e) The school district may require the private provider to sign a
confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement if the school district deems
such agreement necessary.
New Sec. 4. (a) Each board of education of a school district shall
adopt and make publicly available a policy to implement and administer
this act. Such policy shall not create or impose onerous requirements for
private providers delivering medically necessary behavior health services
in a school setting that would result in a delay or barrier to such services.
Such policy shall include, but not be limited to, the following
requirements:
(1) A private provider shall be allowed to provide medically
necessary behavioral health services during school hours to a student
enrolled in and attending a school of the school district if such services
were requested by the student's parent pursuant to section 2, and
amendments thereto, unless such services impose an undue hardship or
fundamental alteration to school operations as provided in subsection (b).
(2) No behavioral health evaluation, assessment or treatment plan
presented by a parent shall be construed as an IEP for determining if a
student qualifies to receive special education and related services.
(3) A behavioral health evaluation, assessment or treatment plan may

services.
(4) Medically necessary behavioral health services may be provided
during any part of the school day, including instructional time.
(5) The school district, the parent and the private provider shall work

ethical code of conduct and considers the impacts on school operations and
the student's testing schedule.
(6) The school district shall establish reasonable reporting
requirements for a private provider related to the student's progress.
(b) The school district may establish penalties against a private
provider for failure to comply with this act or any policies adopted by the

of a private provider's authorization to provide services on any school
campus.
(c) The failure of a school district to adopt the policy required by this
section shall not be cause to prohibit the provision of medically necessary
behavioral health services to a student as provided in this act.

in subsection (b) may require a person to be fingerprinted and shall submit
such fingerprints to the Kansas bureau of investigation and the federal
bureau of investigation for a search of the state and federal database.
Fingerprints provided pursuant to this section may be used to identify a
