Dear Senator Thompson:
SUBJECT: Fiscal Note for SB 287 by Senate Committee on Federal and State Affairs
In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning SB 287 is respectfully
submitted to your committee.
SB 287 would prohibit law enforcement agencies or officers from assisting with or
participating in federal immigration enforcement in places of worship, schools, and hospitals.
Knowingly violating the provisions of the bill could be used as grounds for suspension, revocation or
denial of a law enforcement officer certification.
The Department of Education, the Department for Aging and Disability Services, the Kansas
Bureau of Investigation, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Kansas Commission on Peace Officers’
Standards and Training, the Kansas Association of Counties, and the League of Kansas Municipalities
indicate that the enactment of the bill would have no fiscal effect.
The Office of the Attorney General indicates that the enactment of the bill would result in
litigation costs more than $500,000, all from the State General Fund in FY 2026 and FY 2027. Any
fiscal effect associated with SB 287 is not reflected in The FY 2026 Governor’s Budget Report.
Sincerely,
Adam C. Proffitt
Director of the Budget
