Brownback signs military and retirement reform bills in Kansas
Gov. Sam Brownback signed bills to aid military families and adjust KPERS retirement rules. The first bill expands in state tuition for armed forces and veterans and creates veteran hiring preferences and faster certifications. The second caps earnings for retirees rejoining public work at 25,000 after a one year phase in. A wind energy compromise repeals a 20 percent renewable mandate while keeping non binding targets and tax tweaks.
