Senator Sandy Praeger pushed for a two year moratorium on sand dredging along the Kansas River from Manhattan to Lawrence and for a recreational study funded by a coalition of state agencies. The House failed to reconsider the bill while Praeger sought an amendment to fund an estimated study cost of about 1000 dollars, aiming to assess river recreation and ecology.
