Prohibiting discriminatory practices on the basis of religion at public educational institutions and authorizing the attorney general to investigate violations and assess civil penalties under the Kansas act against discrimination.

Summary

The bill would bar any publicly funded K‑12 school, community college, Washburn University, technical college, or other state‑run institution from discriminating because of religion or tolerating antisemitism. It creates a complaint process with the attorney general, who can investigate, subpoena evidence, and seek civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation. The measure amends the Kansas Act Against Discrimination to add these protections while preserving the ability to teach about world religions.
