Kansas would send families information about savings accounts

The state registrar would send the state treasurer selected birth record data. The data concern children born in Kansas who are eligible for government-administered savings accounts. The materials cover Trump accounts for children born on or after January 1, 2025, education savings accounts, and ABLE accounts. The treasurer decides what data are needed; it may include a child's name, a parent's or guardian's name and mailing address, or the child's birth date. Data must be sent securely and handled under state and federal law. The section does not authorize disclosure of confidential records beyond what law permits. For children born before July 1, 2026, the data would be sent by September 1, 2026, if no matching death certificate has been issued. For children born on or after July 1, 2026, data would be sent within 90 days of the birth certificate, unless a matching death certificate is issued within that time.

The state treasurer would provide families with information about the accounts. The information would cover Trump accounts for children born on or after January 1, 2025, education savings accounts, and ABLE accounts. The treasurer would choose suitable printed materials, such as brochures or letters, and may work with the state printing office to produce and distribute them. The treasurer would also share information on its website and through financial literacy training. The section would take effect after publication in the statute book.
