Kansas Tax Receipts Beat Estimates and TANF Drug Testing Bill
Kansas Legislative Research reports FY 2013 SGF receipts through January at 95.8 million, 2.7 percent above estimates with individual and corporate income and other taxes topping projections. Senate Bill 149 would require drug testing for TANF recipients, funded by federal TANF funds, not state taxes. ROZ program notes show 686 applications from 2011 to 2013 with 238 from out of state. Senator Caryn Tyson represents District 12 and advocates protections against child exploitation.
