House committee restores highway funds transfer
A Kansas House panel on Monday reversed last week’s cut and restored 724 million dollars from the Transportation Department to cover other state spending. Officials said transportation projects stay on schedule but some maintenance will be delayed. Rep. Jennings praised the discussion on fiscal responsibility while Chair Claeys urged broader budget review. Transport officials emphasized the transfer does not halt projects.

Kansas lawmakers debated Peck’s push to cast a note in the Board of Regents budget urging attention to university funding requests. Democrats and moderate Republicans objected to directing policy, arguing the agencies seek what they need. Peck pressed for using general fee fund balances and even tuition boosts to support projects as Senate and committee hearings proceed.
