Fentanyl test strips, trans athlete ban and smoking age. New KS laws take effect Saturday

On Saturday Kansans will be able to legally access a key tool used to prevent fentanyl overdose deaths and they will no longer need to pay the state $100 for a license to carry a concealed firearm.

Transgender athletes will also no longer be permitted to compete in girls and women’s sports and the state will enact one of the most sweeping anti-trans policies in the nation.

Though Kansas lawmakers left Topeka in May, the vast majority of the policies they approved will not take effect until the annual publishing of the state registrar on July 1. Of 98 bills passed this year, provisions of 77 will be enacted on Saturday.
