Lack of proper identification is a significant barrier to securing housing, employment, and essential services, often leading to recidivism.

Presentation before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Welfare Reform, presented by Carla Whiteside-Hicks, Director of Economic and Employment Services, Kansas Department for Children and Families.
Presenter's name, presentation date, and committee name are taken from the Kansas Legislature website."The National Voter Registration Act of 1993 requires voter registration to be available in public assistance offices. The Act also requires that anyone applying for or receiving public assistance, including TANF, Food Assistance, Child Care, Summer EBT and LIEAP, be offered the opportunity to register to vote at the time of initial application, each eligibility review, and each report of a change of address. Each individual must be informed of this registration service and offered the same level of assistance in completing the voter registration application or declining the registration activity as the agency provides in completing our benefits applications or other processes. The requirement to provide "equal assistance" in filling out voter registration materials means that staff must understand and be able to answer questions about Kansas' voting eligibility requirements and must offer assistance in completing a voter registration application. ... Completion of the voter registration page of the ES-3100 is not a condition of eligibility for assistance and has no bearing on case processing or eligibility.

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Commerce, Labor and Economic Development Committee, presented by Rachel Willis, Director of Legislative Affairs, Kansas Department of Commerce.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2304. "The bill requires local governments to provide Commerce with data regarding their local economic development incentive programs. This would include programs like community improvement districts, tax increment financing, business improvement districts and other development initiatives. It also includes grants, loans, leases, land acquisitions and workforce development programs offered by local governments that provide more than $50,000 in annual incentives. This is an incredible amount of data and should not be a responsibility of Commerce. ... Currently, [our] transparency database provides statistical data for 106 statewide economic development tax credits and programs. ... The agency has been able to create and maintain this extensive database with no dedicated FTE's or funding. Expanding the database significantly like suggested in HB 2304 is not doable for Commerce without dedicated, ongoing funding and two FTE's.
