Measure Would Broaden Kansas Veteran Benefits
Senate bill proposed by Sens. Wilford Rilegle and John Woelk would provide up to 150 toward burial expenses for spouses widows or parents of indigent veterans and ease qualification for veteran employment preference. The package also to allow fathers of veterans to join the state soldiers home and would let a veteran waive state pension rights to receive a federal pension. Other bills seek joint sewage operations, outlaw sealing an ice box with inaccessible interior, raise bridge project thresholds, legalize a new headlight car plan, and designate Veterans Day and the American Legion Memorial Highway in Kansas.
