Kansas lawmakers face higher court costs under plan
A 50 page study by the Kansas Supreme Court, done for the Kansas Judicial Council, projects state funding of the court system could rise by about 12.6 million dollars next year if the legislature assumes all costs. The report backs reform proposals to consolidate seven courts into a single district court system overseen by the Supreme Court and creates an intermediate court of appeals in 1977. The PAS study also suggests phasing in total funding by taking over salaries for district judges and magistrates.
