It faces full Senate debate with bipartisan resistance over consumer information.

Kansas lawmakers weigh tax option to aid public schools
Lawmakers review a bill allowing a tax check-off for public schools with about 25 000 Kansans contributing last year totaling 366 949 dollars. The bill would cost 63 200 dollars to implement but yield no impact on the general fund. Supporters say it offers an avenue to bolster funding while opponents worry about stability and targeting for teachers. No opposition testimony and no action taken.
