State Legislators Longer Terms Proposed in Kansas
Kansas senators would serve six-year terms and state representatives four-year terms under a constitutional amendment. Rep. Leary Johnson urged the committee to place the measure on the ballot, aiming to reduce campaigning and let lawmakers focus on state business. He favored staggered House elections. No opponents testified and no action was taken. A separate WWI veterans pension resolution drew testimony but no action.
