The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Blex. INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS There being no objection, the following remarks of Rep. Pittman are spread upon the Journal: Theater has changed since most of us went to school, especially my older colleagues. I had my day on stage, but it was nothing like the performance I went to at my local MARCH 28, 2018 2673 Leavenworth High School last fall. I went to a show called Tarzan and the stage set, the sound, the costume design by students, the use of the aisle and other aspects of the theater were amazing – Off-Broadway quality in my estimation. Today I am proud to sponsor the Educational Theatre and International Thespian Society as we celebrate “Theatre in Our Schools” day at the Capitol. Today we recognize the importance of theatre in our schools and communities and how it impacts lives. You may wonder why I am the sponsor. Well, a student from Leavenworth High School served as only one of 6 International Thespian Officers last year and I have one of the most dynamic theater program organizers in the state, Ms. Jennifer Morgan. More importantly, across the state, Kansas Thespians maintains 98 active Thespian or Junior Thespian troupes with over 2900 active Junior High and High School Thespian members. The Kansas Thespians group has become a leader for theatre in our schools across the nation, leading the way in excellence. We recognize today that Kansas Thespians Society has been recognized as a Gold Honor Chapter by The Educational Theatre Association 2017. AND perhaps more remarkable is that Kansas highs schools have garnered four of only 11 spots among all other states to perform at The International Thespian Festival this summer. Not only do we look at our particular excellence in drama, but we take the time to recognize the benefits of theater as an important part of our Kansas curriculum. Students who took four years of classes in the arts scored an average of 92 points higher on their SATs to those that took a year or less. They learn so much about the skills in our Kansas Can initiative around socializing, team work, and other life skills outside of traditional academic curriculum. With that, in honor of today's “Theatre in our Schools Day” at the Capitol, students from all around Kansas are here today. In the gallery, we have students from the following High Schools: Leavenworth, Eisenhower, Hayden, Goddard, Olathe South, Olathe North, Salina,Topeka High, Topeka West, Valley Center, and Wichita West. On the floor with me today, are the Kansas State Thespian State Officers, members of the State Steering Committee and other Thespians. Emily Martin (Olathe North), Anna Hastings (Olathe South), Audrey Burgoon (Salina), Thomas Yambo-Rios (Leavenworth), Jared Miller (Wichita West), Jayden Wills (Wichita West), Faith Lopez (Leavenworth), Analisa Chavez-Munoz (Hayden), Kat Bacon (Goddard) and Isabel Lazos (Valley Center), Amberly Nash (Goddard), Dominic Santiago (Valley Center), Caleb Rose (Valley Center), Others in attendance: Chad Nulik from Salina – Kansas Thespians Chapter Director and Jennifer Morgan Beuchat from Leavenworth – Kansas Thespian State Board Public Relations. Let's give these students here and in the gallery and across Kansas a big round of applause.

Taxation: SB 419, SB 449. 2674 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE MESSAGES FROM THE SENATE The Senate accedes to the request of the House for a conference on HB 2542 and has appointed Senators Baumgardner, Alley and Hensley as conferees on the part of the Senate.

MOTIONS AND RESOLUTIONS OFFERED ON A PREVIOUS DAY On motion of Rep. Gallagher, HR 6055, A RESOLUTION urging the small business community in Kansas to assist in developing a model for saving for retirement that can be accessible to working Kansans, was adopted. The following remarks of Rep. Gallagher are spread upon the Journal: HR 6055 is a resolution urging the small business community in Kansas to assist in developing a model for saving for retirement that is accessible to working Kansans. This resolution was requested by AARP Kansas. The AARP Public Policy Institute has provided the following statistics regarding Kansans and their access to retirement savings plans and their preparedness for retirement. Access to an employer-based retirement plan is critical for building financial security later in life. Yet, about 42 percent of Kansas’ private sector employees – roughly 423,000 – work for an employer that does not offer a retirement plan. Significant numbers of workers at all levels of earnings and education do not have the ability to use payroll deductions to save for retirement. Small-business employees are less likely to have a retirement plan. Workers in Kansas businesses with fewer than 100 employees are much less likely to have access to a plan (64 percent without access) than workers in larger businesses (28 percent without access). And, only 20 percent of those who work for businesses with fewer than 10 employees have access to a retirement plan at work. Workers at all education levels do not have a plan. About 68 percent of workers who did not have a high school degree did not have an employer-provided retirement plan – a much higher percentage than workers with some college (45 percent) or a bachelor’s degree or higher (29 percent). Workers at all earnings levels do not have a plan. More than 338,000 Kansas employees with annual earnings of $40,000 or less did not have access to a workplace plan. These workers represent about 80 percent of the 423,000 employees without an employer-provided retirement plan. Access to a plan differs substantially by race and ethnicity. About 56 percent of Hispanic workers and about 45 percent of African Americans lacked access to an employer-provided retirement plan. Social Security is essential to retirement security, but its average retirement benefit in Kansas is only $1,281 a month. And, 47.9% of Kansans rely on Social Security for 50 percent or more of their retirement income. MARCH 28, 2018 2675 Nearly 45 percent of working-age households in the United States do not own any retirement assets, and among those who do save for retirement in Kansas, the average 401(k) balance is only about $23,000. Research shows that offering a person a way to save for retirement through their job dramatically increases their ability to save, and workers are 20 times more likely to save for retirement if they can do so automatically out of their paycheck. Access to payroll deduction retirement savings plans allows individuals to build their own economic security. Such plans help workers achieve economic security through their own efforts. Greater access could also help improve economic mobility and reduce wealth disparity. AARP Kansas’ data show that, regardless of political affiliation, 68% of those surveyed believe that the state should do more to encourage retirement savings. Half of all households are at risk of financial insecurity in retirement, causing taxpayers to shoulder the burden of ensuring that retirees have their basic needs met through social safety net programs. Kansas could save $51.7 million on public assistance programs between 2018 and 2032 if lower-income retirees save enough to increase their retirement income by $1,000 more per year. Making it easier for small businesses to offer a retirement plan to their workers and making it easier for employees to save their own money for retirement should be a high priority for policymakers. It is in the best interest of Kansas small business employees, Kansas small business owners, taxpayers and for the state of Kansas to take action to enable Kansans to prepare for their futures and allow them to be self-sufficient in retirement, rather than depend on government services. HR 6055 resolves that the Kansas House of Representatives encourage Kansans to prepare for retirement in a financially secure manner, to develop a retirement plan individually or through the workplace and to support state leaders in taking any and all measures necessary to make this an obtainable goal.

The roll was called with 125 members present. Excused later: Rep. Pittman Prayer by guest chaplain, the Reverend Jason Carle, Overland Park Presbyterian Church, and guest of Rep. Ousley: Lord, You made the land Kansas is in: a place of hills, wildflowers, wind, plains and big sky. We are here as your people, shaped by the land, shaped by our communities: small towns and farming communities, suburbs and cities. We ask for your blessing on those gathered here as they seek to craft laws and enact policies that bring good governance for this part of your creation. But we confess that we are a stiff-necked people, O God, eager to be right rather than righteous. Help us to bend our necks to the needs of our people. May the work and deliberations this day be shaped by your values: humility before You and each other, a deep passion for justice, and care for the vulnerable, the orphan, the lost. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep. Kessinger. 332 JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE INTRODUCTION OF BILLS AND CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS The following concurrent resolution was introduced and read by title: HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. HCR 5011— By Representatives Parker, Bishop, Brim, Carlin, Clayton, Crum, S., Curtis, Deere, Finney, Gallagher, Gartner, Good, Highberger, Hodge, Holscher, Koesten, Kuether, Lusk, Murnan, Neighbor, Ohaebosim, Ousley, Pittman, Rooker, Stogsdill, Terrell, Trimmer, Whipple and Wolfe Moore HCR 5011 – A PROPOSITION to revise article 10 of the constitution of the state of Kansas; relating to reapportionment of congressional districts, legislative districts and state board of education member districts.

Norris, State Librarian RE: Budget of the State Library of Kansas Thank you for allowing me to testify before the Higher Education Budget Committee on the State Library’s FY2022 budget. The challenge of the last ten months has been difficult for every agency, organization, and resident of Kansas, and has without a doubt made the task of planning for the upcoming fiscal year that much more challenging and important. At the onset of the pandemic early in March 2020, the State Library had the most critical financial obligations and a majority of our major contracts procured and covered. Sensing potential difficult financial times ahead for the state of Kansas, we made the decision to halt all but the absolute essential budgetary obligations. We ceased all spending beyond salaries, benefits, and the most minimum updates to online services. Though we did come in under budget, it affected the quality of service and online content we were able to provide to the residents of Kansas as we were in simple maintenance mode. The continued mission of the State Library of Kansas is to deliver the highest level of library service to all Kansas residents through direct and indirect services.

  • 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.

The roll was called with 119 members present. Rep. Waymaster was excused on legislative business. Reps. Ballard, Concannon, Johnson and S. Ruiz were excused on excused absence by the Speaker. Prayer by Chaplain Brubaker, Lord God, Thank You for this day and this week and for Your unfailing promise to be our guiding light. I am reminded how negativity breeds negativity and how positivity breeds victory and success. 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. Every choice we make will have an end result and the power of that choice is within us. Lord, help all of us to choose wisely. In Your Name I pray, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep.

Sine die is a Latin term meaning “without day.” Often, sine die adjournment is ceremonial without all members attending. This is the final opportunity for the Legislature to override any gubernatorial vetoes from the veto session. There were no successful override efforts. Last week, Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed two bills and one line item in the budget. Senate Bill 29 would have extended short-term 12-month health insurance coverage to as much as three years. Gov. Kelly called it “junk” insurance which is often used by Kansans without health insurance coverage due to job loss. In her veto message, the governor argued that a better solution would be to expand Medicaid, saying that such expansion would save small businesses money, protect rural hospitals, and inject money into the Kansas economy. Gov. Kelly noted that 38 other states have legislated Medicaid expansion. The Senate overrode the veto 27-11 but the House did not have the necessary votes to override. Gov. Kelly also vetoed Senate Bill 273, titled The Small Business Relief Act. It was one of the COVID-related bills which would have stripped the oversight of claims from the Governor’s bipartisan task force known as “Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas (SPARK).” The task force is responsible for distributing about $1 billion in federal pandemic recovery funds to Kansas business and industry.
