Kansas Legislature Advances Some Bills But Few Reach Governor
The Kansas Legislature moved on key measures this week yet few bills reached Gov. Robert Docking. A turnpike bonds plan was killed in committee, while a right to work proposal faced slim chances of approval. A $26 million school aid bill progressed, with funding to be split between pupils and teachers. A broad criminal code reform and an abortion law revision advanced, and a fair housing bill cleared the Senate but lingered in conference over House amendments.
