Legislators continue working in various interim committees
By VIRGINIA McGRATH Staff writer
Kansas' first special legislative session in 21 years is over, but that doesn't mean local legislators will be resting this fall. They will be continuing their involvement with the Legislature during the political off-season.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Lawrence, will sit on the interim Judiciary Committee two days a month until January. Solbach said interim committees, which meet in session, served two basic functions.
"Interim committees allow us to look, in an unhurried and unpressured way, at questions facing the Legislature and to make recommendations on how to resolve them," he said.
One issue that the judiciary committee will study this fall is a law dealing with bankruptcy exemption statutes. The law, passed in the last legislative session, provides for the exemption of some assets from bankruptcy procedures. When a person goes bankrupt, some assets are protected from creditors. The committee will decide and then recommend
what monetary limit should be placed on the exemptions.
The committee also will be studying a bill that could improve the procedural regulations for appearing before state agencies.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, also will be serving on the Ways and Means Committee. He will participate in a long-week tour in late October of state facilities in western Kansas.
Winter, vice-chairman of the Joint Committee on Economic Development, also will be setting up recommended guidelines for the lottery and reviewing ways in which revenue from the lottery can be spent.
State Rep. Jessie Branson, DLawrence, is on the intercommittee for Public Health and Welfare.
"We will be looking at a number of proposals concerning epilepsy and related disorders," Branson said. "That is a very underserved population in the state. We will try to reach some recommendations."
Branson said she also would be making some speeches this fall and would catch up on work with her constituents. She also hopes to attend
a conference on women's issues in December in San Diego. "The conference involves women legislators and should be excellent," she said.
branson also serves on several local and statewide boards and committees and will chair a delegation for pre-session hearings before the next legislative session.
"There's a lot to do, so I'll be very busy." she said.
Solbach said that in addition to his legislative duties he would concentrate on his career as an attorney.
"We're a citizen legislature and have to earn a living. That's especially hard when the governor calls a special session in the middle of a non-election year. That's our only time to be regular citizens and to work." he said.
work, he said.
But the special session won't be the last of Gov. Mike Hayden's proposed highway bill.
"The highway issue isn't going to go away. We'll see it again next session." Branson said.
winter said the failure of the session was unfortunate." "It feeds peoples' skepticism of politics and politicians."
