Jason Thompson, office of reviser of statutes, summarized House Bill 26 52, which would amend KSA 20-33 0 1 to require the Clerk of the Appellate Courts to publish monthly lists of Supreme Court and Court of Appeals cases not decided within six months of submission and petitions for review not acted on within six months; the bill would replace most existing time‑limit provisions and take effect July 1 if adopted.
Committee on Judiciary held hearings on four bills: a proposal to publish monthly lists of overdue appellate decisions; changes to count certain prior DUI-related convictions in sentencing; expanded grounds and limited retroactivity to challenge voluntary acknowledgments of paternity; and a supported decision‑making agreements act. Testimony included state officials, prosecutors, victims' families, county law enforcement, advocates, and multiple private citizens.
