Kansas Senate Bill 522 — The Medical Freedom Act — is at risk of stalling if lawmakers do not act immediately. With only limited days remaining in the legislative session, the window to move this bill forward is closing fast.

For years, Kansans have called for stronger protections for personal medical decision-making. SB522 affirms and protects the fundamental right of individuals to make autonomous medical decisions without coercion, discrimination, or exclusion by government, employers, schools, or private businesses. But none of that will matter if the bill never receives a hearing.

This is the moment to act.

Act Now to Support SB522:

Call the members of the Kansas Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee TODAY and demand that they schedule an immediate hearing for SB522.

Phone calls carry the greatest impact. Even a brief call from you today could make the difference between action and inaction.

Silence now means delay. Delay means failure. Make your call today.

Sample Script: 

Kansans are still vulnerable to medical mandates from employers, schools, and institutions that can threaten jobs, education, and personal freedom. SB522 offers the solution by protecting informed consent, preventing discrimination, restoring trust in healthcare settings, and ensuring no Kansan is excluded or punished for refusing a medical intervention. This bill will directly improve everyday life by safeguarding jobs, supporting school access, strengthening parental rights, and ending government intrusion into personal medical decisions. Please hold a hearing for SB522 immediately.

Subject: Support SB522 — Protect Fundamental Human Rights

Dear Senator [Last Name],

Please support SB522, the Medical Freedom Act. This bill is important to me because it ensures Kansans aren’t punished for private health choices.

This legislation returns voluntary, informed medical decision making to Kansans. It eliminates coercion, discrimination, and exclusion by employers, schools, businesses and government entities.

Kansans want clear protections for informed consent and freedom from medical pressure or discrimination. It would make a real difference for families like mine if you supported SB522.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[City, ZIP]
