SR 1707 Kansas Senate · 2021-2022 Regular Session

Recognizing the need to administer the COVID-19 vaccine.

Senate Resolution 1707 is a non-binding resolution urging the Governor of Kansas to revise the state's COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan. It argues that the current plan prioritizes healthy incarcerated individuals over Kansans aged 16-64 with severe medical risks, including vulnerable groups like the elderly and teachers. The resolution specifically calls for removing prisoners from the front of the line and redirecting vaccines to these higher-priority groups. As a symbolic legislative expression, it does not change vaccine distribution policies but formally states the Senate's position on the issue.
