This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Transportation Committee, by Catherine Magaña, Legislative Policy Analyst, Kansas Department of Transportation, on February 27, 2025.Testimony in support of SB 8. "KDOT is in support of this bill as it relates to safety on our roadways. If a vehicle is in a crash or disabled on the side of the road, the people in or around this vehicle are vulnerable road users or pedestrians that could be killed or injured if struck by another vehicle. A stationary vehicle on the side of road is also an object that could be struck by another vehicle and therefore, puts that driver and passengers at a higher risk of death or injury. ... This proposed legislation will enhance the current move over statutes to now include every passenger vehicle that is stopped or disabled on the side of the road displaying hazard warning signal lamps, road flares or caution signals. This enhancement will also make it easier to educate the driving public as now all drivers will be required to move over or slow down if there is a vehicle on the side of the road with flashing lights.

Hoffman, Director, Conservation Division, Kansas Corporation Commission.Testimony in support of HB 2064. "The KCC supports HB 2064 because the waste disposal method it eliminates is no longer necessary. ... Land spreading was an accepted disposal practice in Oklahoma and was urged as something that could help spur development in Kansas. The original legislation had a sunset in 2015. ... History has proven that the method did not take hold and it is no longer necessary for this method to be an option. While the regulations and procedures adopted pursuant to the legislation were scientifically sound and thorough, when it comes to disposal of waste, there is always a chance that things don't go as planned. Eliminating this option eliminates one more potential threat to the soils and groundwater of Kansas.

These include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) cash assistance, food assistance and child care subsidy. ... The requirement to seek legislative approval prior to amending and submitting state plans, and prior to implementing new federally funded programs could result in delays in funding or an inability to accept new federal funding. State plans, and their corresponding amendments, new federal regulations which may require a waiver, and new program opportunities typically do not correspond to Kansas legislative calendar. Additionally, the Legislature already approves additional spending through the appropriations process. Program changes that require additional funding are represented in agency budget requests or in the caseload process for entitlement programs.
