Graves Signs Bills Expanding Charters and Strengthening Antitrust
Gov. Bill Graves signed seven bills, expanding charter schools in Kansas with local district control and a one time $50,000 planning grant. He also strengthened antitrust law enforcement, kept a public safety task force study, and vetoed a bill restricting work in nursing homes and home health agencies due to conflicts with existing law. Local boards decide charter admissions and a proposed Department of Public Safety faced limited support. The task force will study KBI, patrol, fire marshal, corrections ombudsman, Juvenile Justice Authority, Parole Board, and EMS Board.
