Kansas House Bill 2608 is dangerous for working people...
It is HB 2608 that was recently passed by the Kansas House of Representatives that is dangerous. It is disguised as a larger bill about collecting restitution in criminal cases, which has nothing to do with criminal restitution; the proposed new law seeks to quietly gut a favorable Kansas Supreme Court ruling issued on November 24, 2021, Stormont-Vail Healthcare, Inc. v. Sievers, 498 P.3d 1217 (2021), opinion filed November 24, 2021, No. 121,109.
The proposed new law makes a small change that will result in harsh consequences for working Kansans. The bill will empower collection attorneys to devastate the finances of low wage workers by taking away 100% of a working person's paycheck, a violation of the?Consumer Credit Protection Act.
