Lt Governor Power Restored On Council Committees
Kansas Legislative Council members approved a rules change to restore the lieutenant governor’s power to appoint council committees and refer proposals. The move revives duties previously held by the presiding officer and shifts reference authority back to the lieutenant governor, with John McCuish currently serving. Nine study proposals were added, covering juveniles laws, driver education, public access to meetings, open contract specifications, and tax relief concepts, among others. The group planned to present the rules later and then dine with Gov Hall.
