    FEBRUARY 23, 2017 331 Journal of the House THIRTY-THIRD DAY HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TOPEKA, KS, Thursday, February 23, 2017, 10:00 a.m. The House met pursuant to adjournment with Speaker Ryckman in the chair. 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.

Ken Rahjes, Member Rep. Bill Rhiley, Member Rep. Valdenia Winn, Member FROM: Eric W. 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.

    NEWSLETTERS KANSAS LEGISLATIVE INSIGHTS NEWSLETTER | MARCH 15, 2019 TAX UPDATE The question of whether the Senate would concur or non-concur on SB 22 (decoupling from the federal income tax code) was finally answered Thursday evening. The Senate concurred on a vote of 24-16, sending the bill to the Governor’s desk where a veto is likely. It would take 27 votes to override the veto in the Senate. The House amendments reducing the sales tax on food and imposing an internet sales tax could potentially still be considered separately. MEDICAID FOCUS OF BUDGET DELIBERATIONS Both chambers are continuing work on their respective versions of the State budget. On Wednesday, the House Appropriations Committee discussed the Kansas Department of Health and Environment budget. The Committee removed $14.2 million in state funds and $409 million in the estimated matching of federal funds (currently, the federal government funds 90% and states provide 10% of the funding for Medicaid expansion). The Committee vote was 13-9 to remove the funding. The vote followed the 12-11 defeat of a motion to retain the potential expansion funding for healthcare for the poor. We expect the whole House to debate the issue of Medicaid expansion. On Thursday, the Senate Ways and Means Committee also removed $14.2 million from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment budget. Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, moved to redirect the funding to the Hospital Provider Assessment Fund in order to provide funding for Senate Bill 225 amending the hospital provider assessment rate. The motion passed 7-6.

    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.

    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.

The roll was called with 123 members present. Reps. Sawyer and Showalter were excused on verified illness. Prayer by Chaplain Chamberlain: Loving God: Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer of all that lives and moves and has being, we honor and praise you this day as we come before you ready to do the work to which you have called us. We were blessed this morning to gather and to pray for the leaders of our nation, our state, and our communities. We remembered that all authority and power comes from you and that all who exercise your authority and power are in need of our prayers. Hear us this day as we pray for our president and the leaders of our government, our legislature, and courts. We pray especially for our governor and for each one who fulfills the responsibilities of govern- ance; we pray for our courts of justice and those who serve the courts; and we pray for the legislators of Kansas and especially the members of this house. Give all ears to hear your voice, eyes to see your vision, and hearts to do your will. May we be so empowered by your presence that our lives would magnify your love for all the world and for all your children. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Rep.
