The Kansas Welfare Department will be reorganized into the Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services with Dr. Robert C. Harder as secretary. It will assume full state administration of welfare, replace 105 county offices with six regional and 30 to 40 district offices, and shift to community based rehabilitation. State costs rise by 18 million annually as counties exit welfare funding. staff move to state payroll starting July and 50 percent funding comes from federal and state governments from January. The new agency faces instituting deinstitutionalization and coordinating with community mental health centers and hospitals.
