Kansas adopts multi bank rules and strict DUI penalties
New state laws set tougher drunken driving penalties including a 90 day jail term for license suspensions and 21 day first time suspensions, while promoting food specials over alcohol. A major multi bank rule lets banks own multiple institutions up to 9 percent asset share, replacing unit banking. Long term effects include property reappraisal, a tax shift fix, and a state reappraisal coordinator. Agriculture, education, employment, environment, medical malpractice, lemon law, and water plan provisions expand regulation, funding, and oversight across Kansas. Citizens National Bank and Trust Co. of Emporia sale to Fourth Financial Corp of Wichita is the notable acquisition.
