Wednesday morning, Gov. Laura Kelly signed the bill into law.
"I felt like, for the first time that people get it, that they understand there's a problem, the suicide rates are a problem," Dennis said. "And that this was such a positive win for the state of Kansas."
As the bill made its way through the statehouse, many more stories surfaced of families who went through the same thing.
Kristi Khan of Colby lost her son, Kai, who was transgender. He'd also been on this same website.
"When I reached out to the detective on my son's case and said, 'Did you see all this?' and he's like, 'Well, it's not against the law,'" Khan said. "So I am beyond thrilled to see that Kansas is doing this. And I'm hoping that other states will see this and follow suit."
