75-4380. Citation of act; applicability of act; legislative intent.
(a)The provisions of K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 75-4380 through 75-4383 , and amendments thereto, shall be known and may be cited as the fostering competitive career opportunities act.
(b)The fostering competitive career opportunities act removes unnecessary postsecondary degree requirements from hiring considerations for state employment positions. Many such positions have experienced a phenomenon called degree inflation as more employers rely on a postsecondary degree as an indicator of career readiness, instead of using relevant work experience. These requirements limit opportunities for hard-working Americans and encourage unnecessary student debt. This act does not apply to positions for which a postsecondary degree is a justifiable necessity.
