Lawmakers clash over abstinence focus in SRS contract
Kansas lawmakers and social advocates debate a new contract for the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services. Grover’s coalition, which has run the current $1.5 million annual program for domestic violence victims, says the bid language could hinder victim services. The RFP promotes abstinence based prevention and two parent families, drawing criticism from Sen. Laura Kelly and Terrie Huntington.
