Representative Blacks introduced RS0825, described briefly as a proposal ‘‘which would involve operation of micro trucks on Kansas roadway.’’ When the chair asked for clarification on what a ‘‘micro truck’’ is, Representative Blacks replied, ‘‘It's a small truck.’’ He said the filing was on behalf of a constituent, Mike Branstein. The chair registered no objection and said the bill was introduced.
Lieutenant Roy Wise of the Kansas Highway Patrol introduced two requests. The first (filed as RS0226) was described as a bill ‘‘to clarify the position of major within the Kansas Highway Patrol is unclassified.’’ The committee had no objection and introduced the bill. Lieutenant Wise then introduced RS0855, described as a bill allowing the Kansas Highway Patrol to collect fees from manufacturers of ignition interlock devices for administration and oversight of the ignition interlock device program; the chair again recorded no objection and the bill was introduced.
No questions or opponents were recorded for these introductions beyond the brief clarifying exchange about the micro‑truck definition. The chair moved on to scheduled bill hearings.
