Kansas committee sets plan on interest for inactive state funds
TOPEKA The House State Affairs Committee backed a proposal to charge one percent interest on 80 percent of the state's inactive funds held in banks. Total inactive funds exceed 70 million dollars, currently earning no interest, with estimated annual revenue of 500 thousand dollars.
