Lawmakers blast KDADS over hospital security planning
In Topeka lawmakers from across the party lines pressed KDADS on its summer readiness for weapons in state hospitals. The agency seeks 12.5 million for FY2018 and 11.7 million for 2019 to hire 180 guards, install metal detectors, and buy firearms, with three shifts across 30 stations. The plan hinges on an exemption to the July 1 concealed carry trigger to keep hospitals gun-free.
