HCR 5022: Making application to the congress of the United States to call a convention of the states to establish term limits for members of congress.

This Kansas legislative resolution requests the U.S. Congress to convene a national convention dedicated solely to proposing a constitutional amendment that would limit the number of terms members of Congress can serve. The bill is based on the belief that term limits would reduce the influence of special interests and restore public trust in the government by preventing long-serving officials from accumulating excessive power. If Congress acts on this request, the proposed amendment would still require ratification by at least 38 states before becoming law. Additionally, the resolution specifies that Kansas delegates to such a convention must be elected from state and local offices or congressional districts, while excluding anyone who currently or has previously held federal office.

HB 2736: Requiring hospitals to screen all patients for eligibility for such hospital's financial assistance program or charity care policy.

HB 2736 requires Kansas non-disproportionate share hospitals to screen every patient for eligibility for the hospital's financial assistance or charity care program *before* sending a billing statement. Hospitals must apply any qualifying discounts upfront and include clear notices on bills about financial assistance options, contact details, and policy links. Patients who are incorrectly denied care can request reconsideration, and hospitals must refund overcharged amounts plus associated costs if they wrongly denied eligibility. The bill aims to prevent hospitals from pursuing debt collection on patients who qualify for free or reduced-cost care, directly affecting patients seeking medical services and hospitals managing billing.
