Kansas lawmakers return for a wrap-up session as the Supreme Court delays school finance rulings. A shift places the burden on the state to prove a suitable education funding provision, with briefs due by May 5 and a court appearance set for 11. The package includes tax increment financing for a major motor sports complex, a math and science teacher scholarship program, and a veterans records grants bill. A new Health Policy Authority is proposed, and the Sheriff Matt Samuels Act aims to curb meth production by restricting pseudoephedrine access. Pat Apple notes ongoing discussions and urges updates via his Senate site.
