Topeka AP reports Wichita state Rep. Brenda Landwehr said the House Health and Human Services Committee will not take up a bill expanding exemptions for immunizations this year. She cited little committee support despite a large public hearing where many parents urged more exemption options, while health officials defended mandatory vaccine laws to curb disease spread.

Kansas considers cairn terrier as state dog
PETA opposes House Bill 2513 designating the cairn terrier as Kansas's official dog breed. Rep. Ed Trimmer says the bill would not harm, while PETA warns it could boost puppy mills and worsen the state's animal welfare image. The proposal moves to the Agriculture and Natural Resources committee for a hearing.

Blue Cross skips bid on Kansas Medicaid overhaul contract
In Topeka the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas decline to bid on a state contract to manage Medicaid, citing required business model shifts. The Brownback administration plans three contracts starting Jan 1 2013 for a 2.9 billion program expanding to the disabled and elderly, with federal waivers sought to cover long term care and incentives. Critics warn of rapid changes and for profit outsiders, while lawmakers consider independent audits and oversight.

Auditors mull supplemental report on Kansas Bioscience Authority audit
BKD Forensic and Valuation Services may issue an additional report outlining content of about 52 000 emails on a second laptop linked to former KBA president Tom Thornton. The release would not overturn Jan. 23 findings but would address thoroughness and alleged misconduct. Sen. Susan Wagle urged reopening the audit for deeper scrutiny.
