Kansas Senate confirms Dwight Keane; four bills pass unanimously
Summary
The Kansas Senate confirmed Dwight Keane to the State Corporation Commission and declared passage of four bills — Senate Bills 299, 327 and 348 and House Bill 23 31 — by a 38-0 roll call. The actions were announced following a clerk-led roll call and committee recommendations.
The Kansas Senate confirmed Dwight Keane to the State Corporation Commission and unanimously passed four bills during its legislative session. The clerk read the appointment and the bills for final action before a roll call; the presiding officer later declared the measures passed by a 38-0 tally.
Majority Leader Blazy moved the confirmation, saying, “I move the appointment be confirmed as recommended by the committee on utilities.” The clerk conducted a roll call; after allowing members an opportunity to change or explain their votes, the presiding officer announced, “38 having voted in favor and none opposed.” The measures declared passed and confirmed were the appointment of Dwight Keane (by the governor to the State Corporation Commission), Senate Bill 299 (an act concerning courts), Senate Bill 327 (an act concerning legislative oversight), Senate Bill 348 (an act concerning the State Corporation Commission) and House Bill 23 31 (an act concerning the disposition of human remains).
Committee action preceded the final votes: the clerk had reported that the committee on utilities recommended amendment and passage of the appointment-related measure and that other standing committees had recommended passage or placement on the consent calendar for certain transportation bills. The clerk read each item aloud before the roll call.
Following the confirmation and votes, the majority leader moved to adjourn pro forma until 2:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 6, 2026; the motion carried and the Senate adjourned.
The Senate’s journal and committee records will carry the formal entry of the confirmations and bill passages; no amendments or dissenting votes were recorded on the floor during the roll call reported in the transcript.
