Representative Ken Corbett introduced two bills to the Committee on Federal and State Affairs and the chair moved to introduce them without objection.
Corbett identified the first bill as 25RS0137 (also cited during the session as RS0137). He said the bill would eliminate the sunset (expiration) on a lifetime license for senior citizens that the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks had previously limited, and would also remove a sunset on a youth combination license. "No difference in price, no different nothing, just eliminating the sunset," Corbett said, and he added that all revenue effects would remain the same.
The second bill, identified as 25RS0290, addresses the status of county residents who live within a three‑mile circle around cities. Corbett described the current situation as one where those county residents are subject to city zoning decisions but cannot vote in city elections; he said the bill would give those county residents "some freedom to just at least be able to vote" regarding decisions that affect their zoning or property. Corbett told the committee that Shawnee County had told him it had lost out on a 300‑unit subdivision in an instance he used to illustrate the issue.
The committee chair concluded the introductions by saying, "So without objection, we'll introduce those." Corbett stated these would be committee bills.
No formal recorded roll‑call vote was taken on either introduction; the committee proceeded to other business. The chair also announced the committee had no further meetings scheduled that week and would reconvene the following Tuesday and Wednesday.
