Legislative Budget Committee approves LBC recommendations for State Fire Marshal, KBI and State 911 Board with adjustments
Summary
The committee approved LBC recommendations for multiple agencies. Key additions included restored SGF reappropriations for KBI and a $2 million amendment for the State 911 Board to fund mapping grants; KBI cybersecurity positions and other governor recommendations were also accepted in part.
The Legislative Budget Committee moved through a series of recommendation votes at the end of the hearing day and approved LBC recommendations for several public-safety agencies with specified adjustments.
State Fire Marshal: The committee approved the LBC recommendation for FY25 and FY26 for the State Fire Marshal (HB2007) by voice vote; a second was recorded and no further changes were made in the hearing transcript.
Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI): For KBI FY25 the committee approved the LBC recommendation with adjustments to add back SGF reappropriation for FY25 and to follow the governor’s request to move $3,050,000 (debt-service) to the Department of Administration for bond payments. For FY26 the committee approved LBC recommendations with the following adjustments specified in the motion: add offender registration compliance funding ($500,000), accept Governor-recommended debt service treatment, accept two cybersecurity FTEs and associated funding ($355,363), and accept a $500,000 governor recommendation for laboratory infrastructure. The motion also requested that KBI continue working with the legislature to find lease space.
State 911 Board: The committee approved the LBC recommendation for FY25 and adopted a FY26 amendment adding $2,000,000 for mapping grants to prioritized facilities (schools and others) after debate and a failed substitute motion to increase the appropriation to $6 million and limit eligible facility types.
How the votes were recorded: Actions in the transcript were approved by voice vote; the record shows motions, seconds (frequently by Representative Delperdang), and the chair calling for “ayes” without recorded roll-call tallies.
Ending note: The transcript records committee approvals and adjustments for multiple public-safety agencies; final budget language and line-item details will appear in the committee report and subsequent appropriation bills.
