Committee Introduces RS 2 559 to Create Passenger Rail Revolving Fund

Senate Transportation Committee · January 21, 2026

Summary

An unidentified committee member introduced RS 2 559, described as a passenger-rail service program that would establish a revolving fund; the chair noted no objections and the bill was introduced, with a likely referral to Ways and Means.

An unidentified committee member introduced RS 2 559 at the start of the Senate Transportation Committee meeting, describing it as a passenger rail service program to establish a revolving fund. The committee chair asked if there were any objections and, hearing none, announced the bill was introduced and would likely proceed to Ways and Means.

The introduction took place before the committee’s scheduled briefing from Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Calvin Reed. No sponsor or detailed text of the measure was provided on the record during the introduction; committee members did not debate the measure when it was offered.

Because the bill was only introduced and no committee action (motion to advance, amendment or vote) was taken on the floor of the committee during this session, the measure’s next step is procedural: referral to the appropriate calendar or subcommittee (Ways and Means was mentioned). Details about the bill’s full text, fiscal note, or official sponsor were not specified in the committee record.
