Committee outlines options under Kansas statute 46-2302 for gaming compacts
Summary
A staff member explained the Joint Committee's four statutory options under Kansas statute 46-2302 when considering gaming compacts: recommend changes, recommend approval (with a resolution and committee report), recommend rejection (with a resolution and committee report), or report without recommendation.
A staff member told the Joint Committee on State -Tribal Relations it had four possible actions under Kansas statute 46-2302 when considering a proposed gaming compact.
As stated in the meeting: "The joint committee can take 1 of 4 actions with respect to the gaming compact. The committee may recommend changes to the proposed gaming compact ... The joint committee may recommend to the full legislature approval of the proposed gaming compact. This would require the introduction of a resolution and, a committee report on its recommendation. The committee may recommend to the full legislature to reject the proposed gaming compact ... or the committee may report, to the legislature without recommendation. And then, the committee would also record, introduce a resolution and submit a committee report, with that, action of no recommendation."
Those procedural options framed how the panel moved forward with the Wyandotte Nation compact at this meeting: the committee voted to recommend approval via the motion recorded in the transcript. The staff description in the meeting provides the statutory mechanics for how any committee recommendation would be transmitted to the full legislature.
