Kansas Legislature Ends Three Day Session After Pay Rise Vote
The 1975 Kansas Legislature adjourned after a long pay raise debate. The Senate and House approved a Civil Service raise from 6.3 to 11.8 percent plus 25 dollars monthly, with higher boosts for lower salaries. The bill, totaling 23.7 million for state employees, passed narrowly and awaits Gov. Bennett's signature as a skeleton session resumes May 6. The final day also advanced a right to work enforcement bill, ethics commission reconstitution, and major appropriations, while legislators’ own pay hikes were stripped from the package.
