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.

  • 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.

    Governor Sam Brownback, Senate and House Leadership, Members of the House Appropriations Committee, Senate Ways and Means Committee, Budget Conferees, House Education Committee, & Senate Education Committee Andy Tompkins, President & CEO March 27, 2013 State University Spending per FTE Student We have received questions from Legislators about information they received from the Kansas Policy Institute (KPI) on March 24, 2013, regarding state university spending per full-time equivalent (FTE) student. We were asked if the KPI information is an accurate depiction of state university spending per FTE student. The KPI analysis takes the total number of FTE students divided by the total operating expenditures financed from all funds to derive total expenditures per FTE student. This simple methodology does not accurately depict state university spending on the instructional mission, nor does it accurately describe the financing of spending per FTE student. The facts are: Since 1993, the Kansas Board of Regents has published a State University Data Book. For the past 20 years, a table published in the State University Data Book (Table 1.40) displays the trend in per student spending. The methodology was developed in consultation with policymakers and has been endorsed by the Regents, Governors and Legislators for many years. The simple calculation used by KPI includes all categories of program expenditures in the per FTE student calculation. This means items like research, auxiliary services and other expenditures, that are not part of the education program of the universities, are included in the calculation. The simple calculation used by KPI also includes all categories of funds in the per FTE student calculation.
