The Public Health and Welfare Committee voted to pass House Bill 2027, a technical cleanup to Kansas Statutes Annotated 39-709 concerning public assistance programs.
Jenna, committee staff, described House Bill 2027 as a technical cleanup to KSA 39-709, which relates to public assistance programs in the state. Senator Blasey moved that the committee pass House Bill 2027 and “roll for passage.” Senator Thompson seconded the motion.
Senator Petty raised a procedural concern, saying the bill was not listed among items members expected to take final action on that day and that advance notice helps members prepare amendments. The committee chair responded that changes had been required earlier in the day because of adjustments between the House and Senate and that HB2027 was a standalone cleanup bill suitable for immediate action. After brief discussion, the committee approved the motion by voice vote: “All in favor of passing out 2027 favorably for passage, please say aye. Opposed, no? Okay, it is passed.”
The committee recorded no roll-call tally in the transcript. The chair then adjourned the meeting.
