Committee records introductions of RS 2741 (driver's-license cleanup) and RS 2711 (I‑35 memorial)
Summary
Representative Wilborn introduced RS 2741, a trailer bill tied to Senate Bill 500 addressing driver's-license suspension provisions; Representative Shmoy introduced RS 2711 to designate a portion of I‑35 outside Ottawa in memory of Deputy Sam Smith. Both bills were recorded as introduced by unanimous consent.
The Committee on Transportation recorded several bill introductions during the session.
Representative Wilborn requested RS 2741, saying it "pertains to KSA 8-2110" and described it as a trailer bill to the earlier Senate Bill 500 intended to clean up driver's-license suspension language. The chair asked for objections and, hearing none, recorded the bill as introduced.
Representative Shmoy later introduced RS 2711 to designate a portion of I‑35 just outside Ottawa in memory of Deputy Sam Smith, who died while traveling to a domestic call. The chair likewise asked for objections and documented the bill’s introduction.
Neither introduction produced substantive debate or recorded votes during this meeting; both items were entered on the committee record for future consideration. Committee staff advised that sponsorship details and technical drafting would be confirmed and shared as needed.
The committee proceeded to an operational briefing from the Division of Vehicles and adjourned after announcing upcoming presentations by the director of aviation and KDOT leadership.
