  • 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.

  • 2020 Trust Women Kansas Primary Election Voter Guide
    2020 Trust Women Kansas Primary Election Voter Guide Trust Women is a 501(c)3 organization and neither endorses nor opposes any candidate. 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. Voter Guide Key Y: Yes N: No U: Undecided VRP: Voting record pro-choice VRA: Voting record anti-choice We hope you find the information below helpful. Kansas Candidate Survey These are the questions asked of the candidates running for office in Kansas. Each candidate had the opportunity to answer each question with a yes or no and provide further comment to explain their stance for each question.

This committee is to study the following, but would not be limited to (these topics): ● The Rose Standards set by the Kansas Supreme Court as the goal Kansas schools will meet; ● Best funding mechanism by formula or other criteria to ensure adequate Kansas taxpayer dollars are invested in the classroom; ● Definition of what comprises as a “suitable” education; ● Outcomes to ensure that students are well-prepared for their future endeavors; and ● Uniform accounting across all districts so best practices to achieve student success can be replicated. December 2015 2015 Special Committee on K-12 Student Success REPORT Conclusions and Recommendations General A new school funding mechanism should: ● Focus on each individual student; ● Include accountability and reporting measures to ensure aid is being distributed according to the needs of each individual student; and ● Provide for multi-year funding to provide budget stability to the State and USDs. 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.

  • Thu Apr 08 2021
    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.
