Commission to send testimony to state on Promaines bill after staff update

Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners · December 2, 2025

Summary

County staff asked commissioners to approve a testimony letter for an upcoming state hearing on the Promaines bill; staff said Dr. Stedman will testify and that the office counted about 600 boxes relevant to the letter. Commissioners raised no objections and directed staff to send the letter.

A staff member presented a draft testimony letter for the Promaines bill and asked the commission to sign and forward it to the state committee for consideration.

The presenter said the draft mirrors testimony sent to the Kansas House last year but reflected an updated operational count: according to the presentation, Dr. Stedman reported “nearly 600 boxes.” The presenter said Dr. Stedman plans to testify in person before the Senate Committee on State and Federal Affairs during the bill’s early-week hearing. Commissioners reviewed the letter, requested a copy of the bill (referred to in discussion as bill 185), and indicated no objections to sending the letter promptly.

The action is procedural: staff will finalize and transmit the commission’s testimony to state leaders and prepare Dr. Stedman to appear. The commission did not take a formal roll-call vote on the transmission; commissioners expressed general agreement and the chair instructed staff to proceed.
