§ 60-1714 Definitions.

When Kansas courts use the word "person" in this part of the law, it covers a lot more than just an individual human being. It also includes businesses and groups like partnerships, limited partnerships, joint ventures, and joint stock companies. Unincorporated associations and societies count too, along with cities and other types of corporations, no matter what kind they are.

This broad definition matters because it decides who can be held responsible or who has rights under this law. If you're dealing with a case involving a business, organization, or government entity, this rule confirms that they are treated as a "person" for these purposes, just like an individual would be.
