LB 701 passes

LB 701
The Legislature voted to suspend its rules which require any bill which impacts the budget to pass after the budget bill is approved.

Speaker Flood said the reason for the immediate passage of LB 701 is to, “Inch us closer to compliance and to show good faith to Kansas.”

The Bill passed the Legislature at 10:22am Thursday April 26, 2007, on a vote of 43 for and 6 not voting.
Unless the Governor vetoes this bill it becomes law. It was passed as emergency legislation which means it takes effect immediately.
