  • 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.

  • KCSL News 7-2016
    A Legislative Report for Kansas Children’s Service League ! 2016 Legislative Session: Week Seven (February 22-23) ! ! Round ‘Em Up and Move ‘Em Out….Both the House and Senate left committee work behind this week to concentrate on moving bills across the hall for consideration by the other side of the Legislature. Tuesday, February 23, marked the last day a bill could be considered if it had not moved from its chamber of origin…unless it was assigned — or ever had been assigned — to an exempt committee (Appropriations, Ways & Means, Federal and State Affairs, House Taxation and Calendar). Bills in non- exempt committees and those from these same committees left below the line on General Orders are considered dead for this session; however, sometimes they have a way of sneaking into other bills in the form of an amendment. It is never really over until the sound of that last gavel. After two fairly intense days of work, the legislature has adjourned for their Turnaround break and will return to the Statehouse on !Wednesday, March 2. ! For Those Keeping Track….Here is a condensed version on the status of KCSL bills !we are watching… Those which are still considered active: Senate Bills: 159, 325, 367, 372, 393, 408, 410, 418, 463 ! House Bills: 2585, 2698 Those which are no longer under consideration*: Senate Bills: 315, 394 ! House Bills: 2451, 2556, 2589, 2600 * but could come up again in the form of an amendment into another, germane, active ! bill. ! YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!…The Senate Bill, SB 463, which would abolish the Kansas Endowment for Youth Fund, the Children’s Initiative Fund, the expanded lottery act revenues fund (ELARF), the state economic development initiatives fund and the state water plan fund and move this revenue to the state general fund AS WELL AS abolish the duties of the Kansas Children’s Cabinet, will have a hearing in Ways and Means on Tuesday, March 8, 10:30 a.m., Rm.

In July we mailed a candidate questionnaire to each candidate running for office in the upcoming state and federal primary election, regardless of affiliation with any party or organization. The answers provided do not denote any affiliation or endorsement by Trust Women, nor does a candidate’s choice to participate in our questionnaire signify affiliation or endorsement. The endorsements we have included along with our questionnaire responses are those given by the anti-choice organization Kansans for Life and the pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood. Yes and No answers and any additional comments about the questions we asked candidates are included in this document. The voting record on issues of reproductive rights of each candidate already serving in public office is listed in this document as well. The voter guide itself is listed according to elected office and then numerically by district for each position. So, if you were looking for Kansas State Senator candidates in district 16, you would first look for the Kansas Senate section and follow down numerical order until you find district 16.

Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker, Lord God, Thank You for this day and this week and for Your unfailing promise to be our guiding light.

As our leaders continue their work, remind them often that we empower and enlarge that upon which we focus and give time to. If we focus on the good, good will prevail. If we focus on the negative, negativity will prevail. It all comes down to each of us choosing that of which we want more.
