Kansas Moves to Create New Department of Transportation
The Kansas Legislature sent to Gov. Bennett a bill to replace the Kansas Highway Commission with a Department of Transportation. The measure, approved by the Senate 25 to 10 after House approval 72 to 41, removes partisan divides on the advisory commission and grants the secretary broad authority, with an advisory panel veto over road decisions after a two thirds vote. The attorney for the department would no longer be appointed by the attorney general, and the governor's push for the reform was a focus of the session’s end.
