The measure demands a county vote before corporate hog farms can locate, with environmental, odor and waste controls and plans by state agencies. Lawmakers praised the compromise while critics warned it falls short of strong protections.

Measure-signing buys time in teeth-cleaning controversy
Kansas Gov. Bill Graves signed a measure shaping a three year truce in the dentist and dental hygienist dispute. The law, effective until 2001, allows only trained dental assistants to clean teeth above the gum line under dentist supervision, and expands the Kansas Dental Board to seven members with four dentists, two hygienists and a public member.
