Kansas House seeks documents on speaker lawsuit actions
A bipartisan Kansas House committee is asking Speaker Mike O Neal to produce records on the January Shawnee County lawsuit filed by his law practice. Republican Jeff King of Independence says the panel should determine if O Neal or his firm solicited clients for the suit, amid conflict of interest concerns. O Neal has said plaintiffs approached him and denies any wrongdoing. Also, a Kansas Senate committee rejected health care freedom bills aiming to block federal mandates, while a constitutional change version advances in the House. Friday marked the Legislature's 68th day of a 90 day session.

Senate panel backs reporter shield law in Kansas
A Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed a shield law to protect journalists from contempt for not revealing sources in unbroadcasted information. The measure, by Sen. Terry Bruce, allows disclosure only if no other options exist and the subpoenaing entity proves need by preponderance of evidence. Supporters say it balances press independence with justice, while critics warn against tilting toward the press.
