Kansas House pushed overhaul of Economic Development Agency
State leaders urge converting the Kansas Department of Economic Development into a Department of Commerce to foster growth. Hayden says the move, costing about 54000 for staffing, would create five divisions focused on recruitment, development, small business, travel, and foreign marketing, aiming to boost international trade and long term investment.

Break Bill Could Prevent Tired Professionals Mistakes
In Topeka a Kansas lawmaker urged Senate action on a bill to require rest breaks after every five hours of continuous work for selected professions. A Pittsburg pharmacist testified he worked 13 hours with no lunch, risking fatigue and errors. The measure would let the Department of Human Resources designate occupations at risk and hold hearings to refine which jobs require breaks, with fines for violations.
