Kansas House backs bonds for national biodefense lab
The House Appropriations Committee approved an additional 202 million in bonds for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility at Kansas State University, despite concerns over rising project costs to 11.5 billion. The measure includes safeguards tied to federal funding and mirrors Senate actions as lawmakers maintain support for the lab replacing the Plum Island facility. The project aims to study dangerous animal diseases, protect the food supply, and generate over 300 jobs with salaries above 75 thousand dollars.
