Kansas lawmakers gain more travel reimbursement options
Kansas lawmakers can get actual expenses repaid for attending and taking part in a qualifying group's meetings, programs, or activities. The group must be nonprofit, nonpartisan, and not lobby in Kansas. It must sponsor the event and pay from its own funds. Eligible groups are no longer limited to national organizations that serve state legislatures. The law takes effect upon publication in the statute book.
Kansas officials face free event ticket limits
Covered Kansas officials cannot ask for or accept free or specially discounted access to entertainment, sports, or other activities. This covers the governor, lieutenant governor, governor's spouse, executive-branch workers, and members of executive-branch boards, commissions, and authorities. Offers clearly unrelated to the person's official position are exempt. Attendance is also exempt when it serves a legitimate state purpose and the agency authorizes or would authorize travel and expenses. Another exception covers attendance required by the person's official position. The law takes effect upon publication in the statute book.
