Kansas Senate passes package of bills, including wildlife measure; several House bills approved
Summary
On March 13 the Senate approved a set of bills on final action, including Senate Bill 213 (wildlife) and multiple House bills covering insurance, campaign finance and fares; the clerk recorded required constitutional majorities and a recorded vote on SB213.
The Kansas Senate on March 13 took final action on a package of measures, voting to pass a wildlife bill and several House bills covering insurance, campaign finance and fares.
The clerk read the titles before the roll call: Senate Bill 213, an act concerning wildlife; House Bill 2,042, House Bill 2,043 and House Bill 2,045 (each described as acts concerning insurance); House Bill 2,106 (an act concerning campaign finance); and substitute for House Bill 2,145 (an act concerning fares). After the roll call and a period while some members returned from conference committee, the clerk closed the roll and announced that the measures received the required constitutional majority.
Senate Bill 213 passed on the roll call with 39 votes in favor and 1 opposed, the clerk reported. The clerk also recorded that the listed House bills and the substitute House bill received the constitutionally required majorities to pass; the transcript does not specify individual roll-call tallies for each House bill beyond the clerk's announcement that they achieved the required majorities.
These bills were moved on final action without extended floor debate recorded in the transcript. The clerk directed readers to the March 13 journal for the official record and for additional notices related to school building disposal. Substitute House Bill 2,149 (concerning distributed energy resources) was referred to the committee on utilities later in the session for further processing.
Where specific vote tallies were recorded in the transcript, they are stated above. The Senate did not adopt any amendments on the floor for these measures during the March 13 session; the actions constituted final passage on the bills listed.
