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. 548-S. Please let members of this Senate !Committee know this is not acceptable. The committee includes: Sen. Ty Masterson, R-Andover, chair Sen. Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, vice chair Sen.

Accountability and Assessments State Level ● The current state assessment testing approach should be reevaluated and revised as necessary to avoid “teaching to the test,” inconsistent standards of proficiency, untimely return of test results, and cumbersome technology requirements.
