Legislature tackles crime bills with gaps on hate crimes
Kansas lawmakers advanced several crime bills on Thursday while rejecting the hate crimes proposal by Kansas City Democrat David Haley. The Senate also shot down an aggravated battery with a vehicle measure linked to drunken driving as other crime measures moved through both chambers. The House approved stun gun inclusion in school weapons lists and ignition interlock requirements for drunken drivers, while a separate bill would impose felony charges for serial thefts. Senate backed a registration mandate for sex offenders moving to Kansas.
