Kansas Lawmakers Debate Traffic Citations and Liquor Reforms
Kansas Highway Patrol urged a House panel to back a bill targeting out of state drivers who ignore speeding tickets. The measure would require bonds for nonmember state offenders and allow arrests to collect fines plus court costs. Senate advances liquor reforms to permit credit card liquor purchases and liquor by the drink, with duplication to safeguard passage. Senate also backs a 15 member Tourism Commission to boost travel and funding. A capital punishment cost study panel seeks to shift appeals costs to the state, aiming to ease county burdens while debating total death penalty costs.
