Kan. Legislature Approves Emergency Number Bills

Two 911 bills passed the Kansas State Legislature. The House concurred Monday with Senate amendments to HB-2690 and HB-2483. The first bill would replace the Kansas 911 Coordinating Council with a state 911 board, among other changes. The second bill would eliminate a five-year audit by the Kansas Legislative Division of Post Audit. The House voted 114-5 for HB-2690 and 119-0 for HB-2483. Gov. Laura Kelly (D) will next consider the bills, which the Senate approved last week (see 2403280010).
