Kansas Legislators are leaving their first big votes on the State’s next annual budget, cutting income taxes and the medical use of marijuana to the second half of their annual session.
The Senate hit the Legislature’s annual “Turnaround” last week with a debate on 20 bills, touching on a wide range of topics. Most Bills had to clear their chamber of origin on Thursday to be considered further, but some big proposals didn’t face the turnaround deadline, including tax cuts, legalizing medical marijuana and sports betting. Budget legislation is also exempt from the deadline.
The second half of the session begins today. Expect debate on medical marijuana, sports betting, fireworks sales, and property tax to be hot topics.
