Senators voted 21-16 against accepting a conference committee's version of the bill less than three weeks ago.
TOPEKA — School finance negotiations between the House and Senate broke down Saturday because of senators' disapproval of a minor provision in a bill that outlines the distribution of $846 million in general state aid to Kansas' 304 school districts.

Sen. Eric Yost, R-Wichita, said that keeping the permanent lids at high level put the Legislature at a disadvantage in dealing with the governor's budget. Sen. Ted Cruz, who runs the school finance bill in order to keep the high limits.
finance bill does not become law. Those permanent limits, which the House wanted to keep, are 3 percent and 9 percent. The Senate wanted to decrease them to 1 percent and 3 percent. The conference committee accepted the House position.
Senators reject school finance bill
The dispute centers on permanent lids for school district budget increases.
Each year, the Legislature determines in the school finance bill how state aid will be distributed
However, Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge, said that if the permanent budget idas were low, a governor would not have to worry about veting a school finance bill.
and how much each school district can increase its budget for the next school year. In both the House and Senate versions this year, those limits are 1 and 2 percent.

TOPEKA — The Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee endorsed Saturday a house-passed resolution asking Congress to submit a bill prohibiting desecration of the U.S. flag, then went a step farther.
However, the existing law also includes permanent limits, which go into effect only if a school
Desecration resolution would include crosses Senate bill seeks to penalize harassment
The panel also voted to introduce a bill that would make it a Class E felony in Kansas to burn a cross or any other religious symbol for the purpose of intimidating or harassing members of a religious, ethnic or racial group.
A Class E felony is punishable by a minimum prison sentence of one year and a maximum of five years.
Sen. Eric Yost, R-Wichita, moved for introduction of the bill creating a state law to prohibit cross burning. He also approved it on unrecorded voice vote.
"We're trying to get at the bigotry that burning a cross represents," Yost said.
Sen. Eugene Anderson, D-Wichita, the only Black state senator, had
proposed that the House resolution on flag desecration be amended to include desecration of the cross or any religious symbol, and that also was approved by the committee on voice vote.
That means if the Senate adopts the resolution, it will have to go back to the House, which spent two hours in the Senate and then to consider the Senate amendment.
Sen. BILL Morria, R-Wichita, said that the House looked silly to the public for spending so much time on the flag resolution and that he hoped the Senate did not subject itself to the same criticism.
Morris, a four-year military veteran during World War II, said that he deplored flag burning.
"But if someone chooses to do that," he said, "it's an expression of free speech. It irritates me, but I believe it's their right."
There was no indication Saturday how soon, or if, the Senate would debate the resolution and bill during a session, which Sunday was in its fifth day.
Proposed pornography bill may not get Senate debate
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Attorney General Robert Stephan asked a Senate committee Friday to introduce a bill making it illegal to possess or view child pornography in Kansas.
However, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Wint Winter, R-Lawrence, said he could not promise Stephan a hearing on the bill, given the lateness in the number of bills yet to be considered.
Winter called for review of the bill by the revisor of statutes and by staff from Stephan's office and a local publishing company, whose representative addressed the committee.
"If we can have a hearing, we'll, Winter said. "Perhaps we'll have an opportunity to get it passed."
philes to destroy their material, thus eliminating material that could haunt children in later years.
It also would help prevent pedophiles from using such material to seduce other children, he said.
Acknowledging the lateness in the session, Stephan said, "I thought I'd give you one you could solve."
Stephan told the committee that the bill would help protect minors and destroy the market for child pornography by encouraging pedo-
"This bill is not an attempt to regulate the personal literary taste of pedophiles, but it is an attempt to protect the children of Kansas from being victimized and to destroy the market that would perpetuate the victimization," the attorney general said.
Existing law prohibits the sale of child pornography but not its possession.
Stephan said the bill was not designed to regulate what people do in their homes and minds or prevent people from possessing innocuous photos of naked children in public, but they photos with ludwity or ones that graphically exposed a child's genitals. Stephan said.
