County staff asked the commission on Dec. 2 to review and authorize a testimony letter to the Kansas Legislature, noting the submission is similar to a letter sent to the House last year and that Dr. Seiden will provide a separate letter and appear to testify before the Senate Committee on State and Federal Affairs in the first week of session.

Staff requested the commission's sign‑off so the letter could be sent promptly; commissioners reviewed the sample legislation and said staff could forward the draft and proceed if there are no objections. No formal vote was recorded; staff said they would circulate the bill language and prepare the materials for the upcoming committee week.
