Committee introduces highway namings, memorial designations, fiber-optic and license measures
Summary
In a round of bill introductions the Committee on Transportation received multiple RS requests: memorial highway namings (Braden Grady, George Wark), funeral procession law (RS3241), handicap license plate expansion (RS3070), a KDOT request for statewide fiber optic system (26RS3174), Department of Revenue CDL and CDL suspension bills (26RS2780, 26RS3068), and a Railroad Hall of Fame bill (RS2612).
The Committee on Transportation opened its session with a series of bill introductions and agency requests. Representative Rogers introduced RS3096 to honor Phillips County deputy Braden Grady; Representative Blacks introduced a naming for Brigadier General George Wark on Highway 75 (sponsored by Ernest Brown American Legion Post 138 and the Caney Valley Historical Museum); Representative Essex introduced two RS bills related to funeral procession law (RS3241) and handicap license plates (RS3070); Joel Skelly, Kansas Department of Transportation, requested 26RS3174 for a statewide fiber optic system; Zach Denny of the Kansas Department of Revenue requested two bills (26RS2780 on CDL gross vehicle weight definitions and 26RS3068 on CDL suspensions after DUI records); and Representative Hobbesom introduced RS2612 to establish a Kansas Railroad Hall of Fame on behalf of Representative Angela Martinez.
All introductions were made without objection and entered into the committee record. These introductions preceded the day's work session on multiple bills the committee then moved to consider in detail.
Action taken: Multiple RS bills and agency-requested measures were introduced and entered into the record by unanimous or uncontested introductions. No substantive debate or votes occurred on these items during the introduction phase.
