Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations Special Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance Healthcare benefits and costs. The Committee made no formal recommendations. The Committee recognized the broad scope of the assigned healthcare benefits and costs topics and appreciated the information provided by a representative group of healthcare providers, insurers, agencies, and other stakeholders. The Committee submits its report for consideration to standing committees of the 2020 Legislature. Kansas financial institutions’ privilege tax. Following public hearings and discussion, the Committee made no recommendation on 2019 SB 238 (privilege tax deduction for interest from certain business loans). The Committee did not recommend 2019 SB 239 (imposing a tax on certain state credit unions for the privilege of doing business). The Committee directs its report to the House Committee on Financial Institutions and Pensions, the Senate Committee on Financial Institutions and Insurance, the Senate Committee on Assessment and Taxation, and the House Committee on Taxation. Special Committee on Judiciary The Committee recommended Kansas voters be provided the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment that would reverse the holding of the Kansas Supreme Court in Hodes & Nauser, MDs, P.A. v. Schmidt regarding the existence of a right to an abortion under the Kansas Constitution; the Legislature continue to study the issue of the Supreme Court selection process; and the Legislature continue to evaluate the ramifications of the Kansas Supreme Court’s decision in Hilburn v. Enerpipe Ltd. prior to determining what, if any, action to take. Special Committee on Natural Resources The Committee recommended the Kansas Water Office conduct a basin-by-basin evaluation of Kansas reservoirs to determine where flooding is occurring, what damage has occurred as a result of flooding, and possible actions that could be taken to prevent or provide remediation for flooding events. The Committee also recommended the Kansas Water Office provide information to the House Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources regarding Iowa’s system for reporting flooding events and Kansas sedimentation issues. Additionally, the Committee recommended the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism provide information to the House Committee on Agriculture and the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources regarding damage to state property and infrastructure due to 2019 flooding events. The Committee recommended the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Ways and Means consider a plan to restore the $8.0 million statutory transfer to the State Water Plan Fund and recommended the State Water Plan include efforts to combat the build-up of sedimentation in Kansas reservoirs. The Committee also recommended the Legislature adopt a joint resolution urging the Kansas federal delegation to make appropriations for the 2019 flood damage in Kansas and to ask for congressional authority for the Tulsa Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, to create a study similar to the study being conducted by the Kansas City Division, U.S. Corps of Engineers, on river bed degradation. Kansas Legislative Research Department i 2019 Interim Committee Reports Joint Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice Oversight The Committee recommended legislation to allow detention of runaway juveniles for 24 hours. The Committee made recommendations to the 2020 Legislature related to appropriations from the Evidence- Based Programs Fund; software information management systems for child welfare agencies; legislative study of current record requirements and data collection for youths in the child welfare system; strategies to address the behavior of unruly, disruptive, and potentially dangerous children within the child welfare system; legislative presentations concerning child brain development; payments for kinship placements; access to treatment and training by female inmates; salary equity and education-level requirements of positions within

    FEBRUARY 23, 2017 331 Journal of the House THIRTY-THIRD DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Thursday, February 23, 2017, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 125 members present. Excused later: Rep. Pittman Prayer by guest chaplain, the Reverend Jason Carle, Overland Park Presbyterian Church, and guest of Rep. Ousley: Lord, You made the land Kansas is in: a place of hills, wildflowers, wind, plains and big sky. We are here as your people, shaped by the land, shaped by our communities: small towns and farming communities, suburbs and cities. We ask for your blessing on those gathered here as they seek to craft laws and enact policies that bring good governance for this part of your creation. But we confess that we are a stiff-necked people, O God, eager to be right rather than righteous. Help us to bend our necks to the needs of our people. May the work and deliberations this day be shaped by your values: humility before You and each other, a deep passion for justice, and care for the vulnerable, the orphan, the lost. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Kessinger. 332 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE INTRODUCTION OF BILLS AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS The following concurrent resolution was introduced and read by title: HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. HCR 5011— By Representatives Parker, Bishop, Brim, Carlin, Clayton, Crum, S., Curtis, Deere, Finney, Gallagher, Gartner, Good, Highberger, Hodge, Holscher, Koesten, Kuether, Lusk, Murnan, Neighbor, Ohaebosim, Ousley, Pittman, Rooker, Stogsdill, Terrell, Trimmer, Whipple and Wolfe Moore HCR 5011 – A PROPOSITION to revise article 10 of the constitution of the state of Kansas; relating to reapportionment of congressional districts, legislative districts and state board of education member districts.

  • Joint Project on Term Limits 2004
    Kansas: A Retro Approach to Lawmaking By Michael A. Smith, The University of Kansas Brenda Erickson, National Conference of State Legislatures Joint Project on Term Limits 2004 National Conference of State Legislatures Council of State Governments State Legislative Leaders’ Foundation 7700 East First Place Denver, CO 80230-7143 (303) 364-7700 • fax (303) 364-7800 444 North Capitol Street, N.W., Suite 515 Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 624-5400 • fax (202) 737-1069 http://www.ncsl.org © 2005 by the National Conference of State Legislatures. All rights reserved. Introduction Among the fifty state legislatures, Kansas’s might be termed a retro approach to governing. The state lacks the petition initiative, and therefore it also lacks many of the complicating factors that have changed governance in many other U.S. states. Kansas has no citizen-initiated tax cap such as California’s Proposition 13, Colorado’s Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or Missouri’s Hancock Amendment. Furthermore, the state still maintains a citizen legislature with low pay, limited staff, and short sessions. And finally, Kansas does not have term limits on its legislators. The legislative process in Kansas has changed recently to accommodate a more-complex government, a changing political climate, and the advent of new information technology. But overall, Kansas’s Legislature has not changed radically in its functioning during the past ten years. Kansas is unlikely to have legislative term limits anytime in the foreseeable future. Because the Sunflower State lacks the petition initiative, the only way to pass such a policy in the state would be for the legislators themselves to send voters a constitutional amendment limiting their own terms—an unlikely prospect, especially given the near-universal disdain for term limits expressed by legislators during our interviews.

  • Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action”
    Kansas Legislators Message of Support and “Call to Action” We come together united as state legislators, republicans and democrats, state senators, and state representatives with this important message. We have reached a tipping point in the battle with COVID-19. If widespread community transmission continues to increase, our hospitals will be unable to meet the health care needs of Kansans across the state. We need people to change their behaviors and act fast to curb the spread because our status quo is not working and the implications are dire. This is not a COVID-19 crisis. This is a health care crisis. This holiday season, the greatest kindness you can give to your loved ones is doing your part to preserve their health. Wear your mask; wash your hands; stay home as much as possible; and keep your distance. Lives depend on it. As we enter the winter months, cases continue to rise and without action, this will continue. It is critical we reignite a sense of duty and ownership to do all we can to slow the spread of this virus to protect the health and safety of individuals and their loved ones. While we cannot change the hearts and minds of everyone, we each can take personal responsibility to make changes that will ultimately be lifesaving. We are united in our message: • While the news about vaccines gives us all hope, we must take steps NOW to bend the curve, curtail widespread community transmission and ultimately decrease hospitalizations so that care is available for all • We support the efforts across our region and Kansas to take additional steps to practice the pillars of infection prevention.
