Kansas House Rejects Punitive Damages in Right to Work Bill
The Kansas House, in a 73-45 vote, refused to adopt punitive damages for violations of the right to work constitutional amendment. It called for a fourth conference committee to craft a final version, opposing Speaker Duane McGill’s push for punitive penalties. The bill evolves after a $433 million appropriation to Gov. Bennett and aims to implement the self executing amendment with damages and fees.
