Topeka AP Kansas legislators postponed voting on a bill that would shorten sentences for first and second marijuana possession offenses. The measure, sent back to committee, aims to remove prison time before a third conviction unless serious prior offenses exist while prisons run over capacity.
The House approved its version by 109 to 14 while the Senate later passed its version. The move marks a win for education groups led by KNEA as conservatives push to curb teachers unions. The measure shapes how many contract items must be negotiated and sets terms for salaries, duties, and additional negotiable topics. The outcome aligns with a bipartisan stance on educator input in public schools.
A Kansas Senate proposal would shift local elections to August primaries and November general elections, aligning with state and federal schedules. The measure faces concerns over poll space, costs, and school-building use as polling places, with districts urged to avoid school days during voting.
The Kansas Senate approved a bill to issue 1 billion dollars in bonds to shore up the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System, sending the measure to the House. It also passed a concealed carry bill allowing permitless carry, sending that to the House. The measure, led by Majority Leader Terry Bruce, faces House action with debates over training requirements and permit costs. The NRA notes several states permit concealed carry without permits.
