Legislature moves quickly to pass bills on deadline

The House passed, 114-10, a bill designed to wash the Legislature's hands of responsibility for the state Board of Education's QPA, or quality performance accreditation system. Under QPA, school boards and the state set goals for student achievement, and the schools are accredited based upon how well they meet their goals.
The House sent a clear message to the state Board of Education today, approving two measures attempting to modify the state's controversial school accreditation system.

The House and Senate must pass most bills on its debate calendar by tonight, or they are lost for this session. However, the deadline does not apply to bills handled by the appropriations, tax and Federal and State Affairs Committees.

TOPEKA — Imposing term limits on legislators has died for all practical purposes, but bills reining in QPA and creating a new state Board of Agriculture advanced as debate intensified ahead of today's deadline on passing bills in the house of origin.
The House also passed today, 100-24, a bill that would create an 11-member state board appointed by the governor, with the board hiring the state agriculture secretary.
by the Senate, under which the governor would appoint the secretary and an advisory agriculture board. His amendment failed, 60-61.
It became clear that the House and Senate have differing views on how to reconstitute a state Board of Agriculture. The old one was wiped out by a federal court ruling two years ago as unconstitutionally elected.
But the Legislature can remove its endorsement of QPA from the 1992 School District Finance and Quality Performance Act, putting all responsibility for the system on the board. It also can ask the board by resolution to scrap or change QPA.
The House also recommended changes to the system in the form of a resolution, which has no legal authority. It passed, 121-3.
The House and Senate now will consider the bill of the other, with a joint conference committee likely to formulate the final proposal.
An amendment, proposed by Rep. Kejir, R-Brookville, during Monday's debate, would have made the bill nearly identical to a bill passed
It took two votes for the House to kill off a resolution that would have submitted a 12-year term-limit proposal to voters at the 1966 general election. It's not likely to be resurrected.
Tanner asked for reconsideration. But the motion to reconsider failed by 14 votes.
After the first House vote fell three votes short of the required two-thirds majority needed for approval, or 84 votes, two members — Rep. Ralph Tanner, R-Baldwin City, and Rep. Gary Merritt, R-Overland Park — complained that the chamber's electronic voting system had made a mistake in recording their votes.
Majority Leader Vince Snowbarger, R-Olathe, said he thought the amendment making the bill apply to 19 veteran incumbent representatives scared off enough votes to sink it.
Dole welcomes competition
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa — Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole dismissed the showing that rival Texas Sen. Phil Gramm has posted in early straw polls, saying he was worried about the "real poll derby."
In addition, Dole rejected criticism that he was too old to seek the Republican presidential nomination and disputed Gramm's claim to being the conservative in the field.
"Let's take a look at who voted to create the Department of Education," Dole said. "I didn't, but Phil Gramm did. There's going to be a lot of these little nuggets coming to the surface in the next few months."
peted in straw polls conducted around the country, and his supporters point to a strong showing as evidence of strong support from party activists.
In recent weeks, Granum has com-
to announce his this week. Dole is set to announce his candidacy in April, and his appearance Monday marked the beginnings of sparring among the GOP rivals.
"My view is, if I were probably trying to get some attention, I'd get out there and take a straw poll," Dole said. "We're not going to spend all our money on straw polls. It costs money to win a straw poll."
"Sooner or later, we're going to have to start spelling out differences," Dole said. "We're prepared to do that."
Dole was in Iowa to announce a campaign structure in the state where precinct caucuses next February will mark the first test of GOP presidential strength.
"I can win straw polls," Dole said.
"We're not going to get into a straw poll derby. We'll just get into the real poll derby."
The Republican presidential field is starting to take shape, with Gramm announcing his candidacy last week and former education secretary Lamar Alexander scheduled
That campaign will be headed by state Rep. Steve Grubbs and state Sen. Joan Douglas, but Dole was asked about claims from Gramm's backers that Dole was too old and not conservative enough.
