Kansas House passes bill removing governor appointive power in elections
In Topeka, the Kansas House approved a measure transferring election commissioner appointments in the four largest counties from the governor to the secretary of state as part of election reform. The Senate tentatively approved another bill to form a Kansas Animal Health Board by merging the branch and livestock sanitary commissions, with members appointed by the governor from names provided by the Kansas Livestock Association. The session also cleared 15 highway patrol positions and a major highway funding bill, and the Senate signaled approval of 37 bills including many repeals.
