What changed

Kansas SB260 establishes the Born to Invest Act, creating a new data-sharing requirement between the Office of Vital Statistics and the Office of the State Treasurer. The legislation authorizes the State Treasurer to receive birth registration data for the purpose of distributing informational materials about state-administered savings programs to parents of newborns. The bill received strong bipartisan support, passing the Senate 36-4 (Feb 2025), House 110-14 (Mar 2026), and final conference committee adoption in both chambers.

The primary affected parties are the Office of Vital Statistics (required to share data) and the Office of the State Treasurer (receiving data for outreach). Both agencies will need to establish data-sharing procedures and develop informational materials for distribution. No specific implementation deadline or penalty provisions were included in the enrolled bill. State agencies should begin coordination to establish the data-sharing framework once the bill takes effect.

What to do next

Establish data-sharing agreement between Office of Vital Statistics and Office of the State Treasurer
Develop informational materials on government-administered savings accounts for distribution to new parents
