Little Legislature Chiefs Okay Change In Appointive Power
Leaders of the Kansas Legislative Council agreed to restore to the lieutenant governor the power to appoint council committees and refer proposals to committees. The move would abolish a 1953 committee on committees and return control to Lt. Gov. John McCuish. Nine study proposals were added to the council’s agenda, including juvenile law review, driver training for seniors, a state business regulation commission, open meetings for agencies, and restoring ex officio membership of all legislators. The proposals reflect ongoing debates on taxation and legislative powers.
