Community Bankers Association of Kansas January 6, 2017
Community Bankers Association of Kansas Legislative Update January 6, 2017 Overview The 2017 session begins on Monday, January 9th; the Governor’s State of the State will occur on Tuesday, January 10th, and the Governor’s budget recommendations will be presented sometime later that week. The session should begin quickly with a mid-session break scheduled for February 25-March 6 and the regular session concludes on April 7th. The veto session begins May 1. A 90-day session should conclude on May 14th. There is much work to be done and this session will likely be the longest and most difficult in memory. New Leadership House of Representative In the House of Representatives, Democrats increased their numbers by twelve seats and a fair number of more conservative Republicans lost in the primary and general elections. The chamber has again elected a more conservative Speaker but the other leadership positions are fairly balanced between conservatives and moderate Republicans The 2017 House will have 85 Republicans and 40 Democrats, a change from the 2016 division of 97-28. Republicans: • House Speaker: Ron Ryckman Jr., (R-Olathe). • House Majority Leader: Rep. Don Hineman, (R-Dighton) • Assistant Majority Leader: Rep. Scott Schwab, (R-Olathe). • Assistant Majority Leader: Rep. Tom Phillips, (R-Manhattan). Democrats • Minority Leader: Rep. Jim Ward, (D-Wichita). • Assistant Minority: Leader: Rep. Stan Frownfelter, (D- Kansas City). Senate The Senate partisan split will be 31-9, with the Republican majority. The Democrat gain of one seat actually under-represents the amount of change in the Senate because fourteen incumbent conservative Republicans either chose not to run or were defeated.

Prayer by the Rev. Eunice Brubaker, pastor, Fairlawn Church of the Nazarene, Topeka: Dear God, our Father and Creator, We come into your presence today realizing our need for your power, wisdom and direction in our lives. Today, representatives from all over this great state begin working together to bring about a better life for Kansans. Each comes with the ideas and thoughts they believe are best. These ideologies may represent a vast diversity within this body, but we pray that your wisdom and guidance will bring unity within this diversity. For as you say in your Word, ‘‘ ‘For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,’ declares the Lord. ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.’ ’’ (Is. 55:8-9) As they present, discuss, de- bate and vote over the next few months, may your Spirit guide each one in their decision making and may all decisions be those that not only help the citizens of this state but will bring glory and honor to you. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Kansas Chamber PAC Endorsements
For More Information Contact: 785.357.6321 Jeff Glendening [email protected] Kansas Chamber PAC Endorsements Topeka, KS (June 28, 2010) – The Kansas Chamber PAC has released their endorsements forthe 2010 elections to the Kansas Legislature. “We are proud to endorse a group of candidates who demonstrate a pro-jobs approach to stimulating the Kansas economy and the personal leadership to form strong public policy,” said Kansas Chamber Interim President and CEO Kent Beisner. “These individuals are committed to reducing government spending and growing jobs in Kansas.” The Chamber PAC endorses exceptional lawmakers and candidates who support the tenets of free enterprise. The selection process focuses solely on the core business issues that impact the state’s economy. “Instead of cutting spending during these tough times, the legislature chose to grow the state budget by more than $200 million during the 2010 legislative session,” continued Beisner. “Kansans expect legislators to spend their money in a responsible manner, just like Kansas families and businesses must do.” “Kansas needs decision-makers in Topeka who understand that the government is funded by businesses and their employees,” concluded Beisner. The Kansas Chamber’s legislative agenda includes initiatives aimed at creating a more jobs friendly tax climate, containing healthcare costs, improving the legal climate, improving the workers compensation system and unemployment compensation system, and promoting a fair regulatory climate.
