Changes In Legislature Are Proposed By Kansas Commission
TOPEKA AP Far reaching changes in Kansas constitution provisions were approved by the state Commission on Constitutional Revision. Proposals go to the Legislative Council to decide if they should be recommended to the legislature. Two thirds in each house would be needed to send the measures to voters. Proposals include redefining House representation by geography and Senate by population, reducing House seats from 125 to 105 and keeping Senate at 40. A new apportionment board of the governor, attorney general and state auditor would redraw districts every 12 years using census data to equalize populations, with legal action to compel or revise if needed. Legislator pay would be set by law rather than the constitution.
