Republican Lawmakers have succeeded in forcing a Thanksgiving Week Special Session of the Kansas Legislature to consider financially protecting workers who refuse to comply with Federal Vaccine Mandates.
GOP Legislative leaders announced that all Republicans in both the House and Senate have signed a Petition demanding a Special Session starting November 22nd. Governors call Special Sessions, but the Kansas Constitution requires them to do it if 2/3 of both Chambers demand it. The GOP holds more than enough seats. It’s the first time in Kansas history that lawmakers have forced a Governor to call a Special Session. Governor Kelly has expressed opposition to Biden’s Vaccine Mandates, bus was non-committal yesterday about bringing lawmakers back to Topeka.
