Measure to make English Kansas state official language
TOPEKA AP English would become the state's official language under a bill Republicans began pushing Friday. The measure bars state entities from issuing materials in non English with limited exceptions for health safety rights in legal cases language learning commerce and common phrases. It would require English for official public documents like birth and death certificates. Since 1986 Kansas lawmakers have proposed 10 other English language measures and only one reached Senate committee in 1996 but no floor vote occurred.
