Kansas debate on buffer zones and late term abortion law
In the Agriculture committee a voluntary buffer zone bill along creeks and rivers was approved with farmer reimbursements. In Energy and Natural Resources, rural water districts and solid waste disposal were discussed. Attorney General Carla Stovall testified on a suit against Nebraska over the Republican River Compact. A motion to concur on a partial birth abortion ban failed 19 to 21 in the Senate, reflecting deep division on late term abortions.

Kansas House advances Senate tax relief bill with $225.5 million package
The House Tax Committee moved Senate Bill 500 toward passage with amendments. The $225.5 million relief would cut business personal property taxes by 15 percent, provide a 4 mill real property tax cut, and fully exempt up to $1,000 of business personal property. Families would see higher standard deductions, an earned income credit, a food sales tax rebate, and estate tax updates aligned to federal rules. The measure includes incentives for the elderly, blind, and handicapped workers, and seeks a balance between tax cuts and revenue concerns.
