Governor signs bill to ban K2 chemicals
The bill will make it illegal to possess, use or sell these drugs when it goes into effect, which will happen once it's printed in the Kansas Register.
Gov. Mark Parkinson on Wednesday signed HB 2411, which bans certain chemicals that are found in the synthetic drug K2.
The next issue of the Register is scheduled to be released on March 18.
"This legislation has received overwhelming support by Kansas law enforcement and the legislature,"Parkinson said in a news release."It will help improve our communities by better equipping law enforcement officers in addressing this issue and deterring Kansans from drug use."

Emergency test planned for today
The University plans to test its emergency communication system at 12:30 p.m. today.
University officials will broadcast a test over the public address system, beginning with a three-second alert tone. A test broadcast message will follow. Students and staff are advised to continue with normal activities during the test, KU spokeswoman Jill Jess said in a
prepared statement.
Speakers for the public address system have been installed in and around 76 buildings, Jess said. The public address system allows emergency dispatchers in the 911 center to provide voice messages to an individual building, a group of buildings or to all equipped buildings.
Today's test will be canceled in the case of inclement weather.
