Providing for the filling of a vacancy in the office of state treasurer and the commissioner of insurance by appointment of a person of the same political party as the incumbent office holder and making such appointment subject to senate confirmation.

This bill requires Kansas governors to appoint someone from the same political party as the previous state treasurer or commissioner of insurance when filling a vacancy in either office. The appointment must also receive Senate confirmation. It amends existing statutes (K.S.A. 25-101b and 40-106) to add these requirements and repeals the prior rules. This directly affects how these two key financial roles are temporarily filled during vacancies.
