SB 67: Substitute for SB 67 by Committee on Public Health and Welfare - Authorizing registered nurse anesthetists to prescribe, procure and administer drugs consistent with the registered nurse anesthetist's education and qualifications.

SB 67 expands the scope of practice for registered nurse anesthetists (RNAs) in Kansas by allowing them to prescribe, procure, and administer drugs during anesthesia or pain management care, consistent with their education and qualifications. This directly affects RNAs, who previously could not prescribe drugs under most circumstances, though they must still operate under a physician or dentist's order for anesthesia services. The bill requires RNAs to register with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration for controlled substances and prohibits prescribing for abortions. It repeals the existing law and replaces it with new provisions outlining RNA responsibilities and limitations during patient care.

SB 97: Requiring vehicle dealers to apply for a dealer inventory-only title for certain used nonhighway vehicles that a vehicle dealer obtains.

SB 97 requires vehicle dealers to apply for a nonhighway title (a special title for off-road vehicles like tractors or construction equipment) for certain used nonhighway vehicles they acquire for inventory, if no title has been issued for the vehicle. This applies when dealers sell such vehicles, mandating they follow a process similar to regular vehicle title transfers to assign the title to the buyer. Purchasers can then obtain a new nonhighway title by applying at their county treasurer's office, paying a $10 fee, and certifying the vehicle is nonhighway. The bill directly affects vehicle dealers selling nonhighway vehicles without existing titles and streamlines title transfers for these vehicles.

HB 2101: Prohibiting municipalities from adopting and implementing a guaranteed income program.

HB 2101 prohibits Kansas cities and counties from creating or funding guaranteed income programs using local tax revenue. It specifically bans any program providing regular cash payments to individuals without work requirements (unless required by federal law), and invalidates any such programs adopted before July 1, 2025. The bill defines a "guaranteed income program" as one not mandated by federal law that offers unconditional cash support. This law directly affects local governments by restricting their ability to implement such financial assistance initiatives without state legislative approval.

SCR 1602: Encouraging the governor to fully cooperate with federal enforcement of immigration laws.

This concurrent resolution urges the Governor of Kansas to fully cooperate with the Trump administration on enforcing federal immigration laws. The bill specifically encourages the state to assist in border security efforts, including the potential deployment of the Kansas National Guard, and supports the deportation of undocumented immigrants who have committed crimes. It frames this cooperation as a bipartisan necessity to protect public safety and resources while also affirming support for a legal immigration system. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to send copies to the Governor, federal officials, and members of Congress to promote collaboration on these issues.

HB 2338: Authorizing the board of cosmetology to issue temporary location and temporary guest artist permits and establishing criteria therefor.

HB 2338 creates two new temporary permits for cosmetologists in Kansas: "temporary location permits" for professionals moving between licensed locations, and "temporary guest artist permits" for those providing services at conventions or approved events. To qualify, applicants must hold an active cosmetology license in another state or jurisdiction (or be a foreign professional without a U.S. social security number, who may use a visa/passport instead). Permits expire after 14 days and are only valid for specific temporary activities, not regular practice. The bill directly affects out-of-state cosmetologists, event professionals, and foreign practitioners seeking short-term authorization in Kansas.

HB 2359: Enacting the uniform adult guardianship and protective proceedings jurisdiction act and the uniform guardianship, conservatorship and other protective arrangements act.

HB 2359 enacts uniform acts to standardize Kansas's approach to adult guardianship and protective proceedings, directly affecting individuals needing a guardian (for personal decisions) or conservator (for property management) and the courts handling these cases. The bill establishes clear jurisdiction rules for Kansas courts when cases involve multiple states, including procedures for requesting evidence, evaluations, or hearings from other states' courts. It replaces numerous existing Kansas statutes with these uniform provisions to simplify cross-state legal processes and ensure consistent handling of guardianship and protective arrangements. This change reduces complexity for families and courts when adult protective cases span state lines.

HB 2307: Transferring the power to authorize and oversee certain activities regarding prenatal and postnatal diagnosed conditions awareness programs from the department of health and environment to the Kansas council on developmental disabilities.

HB 2307 transfers authority for overseeing prenatal and postnatal diagnosed conditions awareness programs from Kansas' Department of Health and Environment to the Kansas Council on Developmental Disabilities. This change affects the Council, which will now manage activities like awarding grants for evidence-based information on conditions such as Down syndrome, establishing support hotlines for parents, and coordinating peer support programs. The bill amends existing law (K.S.A. 65-1,259) to replace references to the health department with the Council, while maintaining current rules until updated. It directly impacts healthcare providers who share diagnosis information and parents receiving prenatal/postnatal diagnoses of conditions like Down syndrome.

HB 2152: Substitute for HB 2152 by Committee on Financial Institutions and Pensions - Mandating financial institutions to secure governmental unit deposits in excess of the amount insured or guaranteed by the FDIC by utilizing a public moneys pooled method of securities, prohibiting investment advisers that execute bids for the investment of public moneys from managing moneys directly from such bid, allowing governmental unit deposits to be invested at a rate agreed upon by the governmental unit and the financial institution, requiring certification from a governmental unit that deposits in the municipal investment pool fund were first offered to a financial institution in the preceding year and allowing financial institutions to file complaints upon the failure to comply.

HB 2152 requires Kansas financial institutions holding government deposits exceeding FDIC insurance limits to secure those funds using a "public moneys pooled method" (investing in specific pooled securities, not cash). It directly affects all Kansas governmental units (state, counties, municipalities) and financial institutions acting as public depositaries. Key provisions include maintaining 102% market value of securities to cover unsecured deposits, requiring governmental units to first offer deposits to banks before using pooled funds, and allowing financial institutions to file complaints if units fail to comply. The bill also equalizes investment rates for municipal pools and bank deposits, with effective date January 1, 2026.

HB 2107: Providing for claims to recover economic damages from fire events caused by electric public utilities, establishing a statute of limitations for such claims and requiring the state corporation commission to convene a workshop on utility wildfire risk and mitigation.

HB 2107 establishes a two-year deadline for homeowners and businesses to file claims against electric utilities for fire damage they caused. It allows recovery of economic losses for property damage, calculated as the lesser of restoration costs or the difference in the property's fair market value before and after the fire. The bill also requires the state Corporation Commission to hold wildfire risk training by July 2026, covering utility preparedness, mitigation strategies, and cost recovery for fire prevention. This directly affects utility customers with fire-related property damage and utilities facing liability claims.

HB 2109: Exempting public utilities from civil liability relating to the attachment, access, operation, maintenance or removal of law enforcement equipment on any utility pole or other structure that is owned or operated by the public utility.

HB 2109 requires public utilities to enter agreements with law enforcement agencies allowing them to attach, operate, and maintain equipment (like cameras or sensors) on utility poles in public rights-of-way. The bill exempts public utilities from civil liability for accidents, damage, or legal claims arising from these installations, shifting responsibility to law enforcement agencies. Key provisions include utilities charging only for electricity used (not pole space), law enforcement agencies securing necessary court orders, and requiring law enforcement to cover all costs and damages. This directly affects utilities (who must negotiate agreements) and law enforcement agencies (who bear liability and costs).
