Kansas Senate recognizes American Heart Month, welcomes Bank Leaders and visiting guests
Loading...
Summary
Senators marked American Heart Month and Legislative Wear Red Day, introduced a class of Bank Leaders of Kansas and recognized cardiac-arrest survivors and student pages; committee meeting and hearing times were also announced.
During the session the Kansas Senate paused for ceremonial recognitions and announcements. Senators recognized February as American Heart Month and Legislative Wear Red Day, highlighted by statistics on out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and calls for wider CPR and AED training. One senator named cardiac-arrest survivors in the gallery and asked the chamber to welcome them.
Senator Fagg introduced the 2026 Bank Leaders of Kansas class (a Kansas Bankers Association program aimed at preparing bankers for civic engagement and understanding legislative processes) and asked senators to give the group a warm welcome. The Senate also recognized four pages from Salina Middle School — Kamaya Johnson, Isaiah Slay, Aleah Veal and Tio Garcia — and other visiting delegations.
The floor also carried procedural announcements: a conference committee on Senate Bill 30 was scheduled for Monday, Feb. 9 at 1 p.m. in Room 582 North, and the Senate Judiciary Committee planned to reconvene that afternoon at 3:15 p.m. in Room 144 South on Senate Bill 398. Those announcements were given following the ceremonial remarks and committee reports.
The Senate concluded these recognitions and proceeded with the order of business and votes later in the session.
