New approval limits on Kansas aid expansions

When lawmakers are out of session, agencies can instead request approval from the Legislative Coordinating Council. The council must meet within 14 calendar days after official notice to consider and act on the request. It can approve, refuse, or refer the request to a committee for recommendations. The law does not itself change anyone’s eligibility or benefits.
