LCC authorizes travel for Uniform Law Commission and Kansas Geological Survey field tour
Summary
The Legislative Coordinating Council approved travel authorizations for legislators to attend the Uniform Law Commission meeting in Santa Fe and the Kansas Geological Survey field tour in Hutchinson, with standard mileage and subsistence rules for the KGS tour and actual‑expenditure reimbursement for the Uniform Law Commission.
The Legislative Coordinating Council approved annual travel authorizations for legislative participation in the Uniform Law Commission meeting and the Kansas Geological Survey (KGS) field tour.
Staff stated the Uniform Law Commission meeting this year will be in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and noted there are five commissioner positions with one vacancy; four named commissioners were listed in the memo: the Hon. Athena Andea, the Hon. Sarah Warner, Rep. Susan Humphreys and Sen. Kelly Warren. The council also heard that the KGS field tour will take place in Hutchinson on dates not specified and that typical legislative attendance for that tour ranges from 12 to 20 people.
On reimbursement, staff said the LCC historically grants mileage and tolls for travel to the KGS main location in Hutchinson plus subsistence for the number of tour days. For the Uniform Law Commission event, staff said authorized reimbursements are for actual expenditures incurred by commissioners attending the meeting.
A council member moved to approve the travel authorizations as presented; Majority Leader Blasey seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote.
No specific travel dates or detailed participant lists beyond the four named commissioners were recorded in the memo at the meeting.
