Chief Justice seeks 8.3 percent boost for Kansas courts
Kansas courts urge an 8.3 percent funding hike to maintain current operations and roll back last year’s emergency fee surcharges. Chief Justice Kay McFarland told the Senate Ways and Means Committee the judiciary seeks an $87.7 million budget for the new fiscal year, with current funding at $81 million plus $3.3 million from surcharges. She warned continuing surcharges or cuts would force office closings or unpaid days off amid rising health, retirement, and cost-of-living costs.
