Committee recommends Office of Veterans Services, Board of Nursing and Health Care Stabilization Fund to Appropriations
Summary
The Committee on Social Services Budget voted to recommend adoption of appropriations for the Office of Veterans Services, the Kansas Board of Nursing and the Kansas Health Care Stabilization Fund to the House Committee on Appropriations; votes were voice approvals with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.
The Committee on Social Services Budget on an undisclosed meeting date voted by voice to recommend appropriations for three agencies to the House Committee on Appropriations.
Representative Cory Ballard moved that the committee recommend adoption of the Office of Veterans Services appropriation “as presented to us yesterday.” Representative Rees seconded the motion; the committee approved the recommendation by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript.
Representative Orpiza moved that the committee recommend adoption of the Kansas State Board of Nursing appropriations for fiscal years 2025–2027 as provided in the packet; a second was recorded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Representative Ballard moved that the committee recommend adoption of the appropriations for the Kansas Health Care Stabilization Fund for FY25–FY27; Representative Rees seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: These committee recommendations advance the budgets to the larger House Appropriations Committee for further consideration. The transcript records only voice votes (ayes recorded by the chair) rather than roll-call tallies, so the committee’s recorded outcome is the recommendation to forward each appropriation to Appropriations, not a final legislative appropriation.
