KHA's Capitol Comments May 21, 2021 Since the Legislature KHA's Capitol Comments May 21, 2021 Governor Vetoes Short-Term, Limited Duration Health Plans Yesterday, Governor Laura Kelly vetoed the contents of Senate Bill 29. The bill would have extended the current 12-month limitation on short-term, limited-duration health insurance coverage to allow for the continuation of that insurance coverage for up to 36 months. The legislation passed the Senate on a vote of 29-11 and the House on a vote of 68-51. In the governor's veto message, Medicaid expansion was highlighted as a better solution. The Legislature has one opportunity, the upcoming Sine Die session, to attempt to override any governor's vetoes. Any veto overrides require 27 votes in the Senate and 84 votes in the House. Legislature Returns Tuesday for Sine Die – LCC Will Meet The Kansas Legislature returns on May 26 for Sine Die. Sine Die, a Latin term meaning without day, signals the final adjournment of the 2021 legislative session. The mainly ceremonial day is annually set following the end of the session to give the Executive branch a chance to receive and take action on bills passed by the 2021 Legislature. While the Legislature is in town next week, a meeting of the Legislative Coordinating Council, made up of Legislative Leadership, has been set for 2 p.m. Legislative Changes Announced for Post Sine Die Since the Legislature adjourned on May 7, a few legislative departures have been announced. Representative Brett Parker (D-Overland Park), who also served as Ranking Minority on the House Health and Human Services Committee, has announced he is resigning from the Legislature after sine die to join Prairie Roots, a progressive statewide organizing committee headed by former State Senator Barbara Bollier (D-Mission Hills) who also ran for U.S. Senate last year. Fellow colleague, Representative Jennifer Day (D-Overland Park) signaled she is departing the Legislature, as she and her husband are building a new home in another part of northeast Overland Park, a section currently represented by Representative Jerry Stogsdill (D-Prairie Village). Day was appointed by precinct committee members in 2020 to replace the former retiring state Representative Dave Benson. .

    APRIL 8, 2021 667 Journal of the House FIFTY-EIGHTH DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Thursday, April 8, 2021, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. The roll was called with 123 members present. Rep. Howard was excused on verified illness. Rep. Sutton was excused on excused absence by the Speaker. Excused later: Reps. Barker, Lynn and Victors. Present later: Reps. Barker and Sutton. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker: Loving and Caring God, thank You for this day. As our leaders continue to travel through their work, be the wind in their sails. Help them to allow You to steer and guide them in the right direction. Give them strength to keep going. Watch over them as they navigate stormy issues. Be their harbor when they need rest. Be their encouragement when they begin to lose hope. Be the light when things seem the darkest. Be the hand that reaches out to them when they are overwhelmed and feel they are drowning. You are the lighthouse that provides them confidence and safety. For this, I thank You and pray in Your Name, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Borjon. PERSONAL PRIVILEGE There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Ballard are spread upon the Journal: March is designated Women’s History Month, but we adjourned early for Easter before we could present our planned program. The 2021 theme is a continuation of 2020’s “Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to be Silenced.” This theme recognizes the battle for over 70 years for Women’s Right to Vote, which was gained with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920.

  • 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.
