Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care, presented by Stacy Tidwell, Deputy Director of Youth Programs, Kansas Department for Children and Families.
Committee name taken from Kansas Legislature website.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2189 "which allows a young person, upon request to the court, to remain in DCF custody while receiving Independent Living (IL) services. Offering young adults the opportunity to receive IL services while also receiving in custody supports as they complete their high school education, obtain employment skills, and receive advanced training or higher education increases their chances of lifelong success. Beyond the option to remain in custody, it is important that youth, who have left DCF Custody, also have the opportunity receive these intensive supports and services. DCF would like to propose an amendment, which allows eligible young adults to request, in writing, reentry services from DCF without the need for court interaction. ... HB 2189, as written, creates statutory provisions for continued services for Kansas youth through the court process. Utilizing a court-based process does not account for youth who have previously left care and requires young adults to specifically request extended care from the Court, which they may be uncomfortable or unwilling to do.

CURB earnestly believes that Kansans need to be good stewards of the earth.

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Utilities, presented by Jeff McClanahan, Director, Utilities Division, Kansas Corporation Commission.Neutral testimony concerning SB 455. "SB 455 amends K.S.A. 66-1239 to include a provision authorizing the Commission to retain certain coal-fired generation units in a utility's rate base. ... The amendment included in SB 455 will further enforce the reliability aspect of K.S.A. 66-101b by adding language supporting continuing to include coal-fired electric generating facilities in a utility's rate base when such units may have a low capacity factor or are offline during normal operating conditions and providing capacity only. Given the current regional reliability concerns stemming from: 1) recent increases in load growth from electrification and increased economic development; 2) the rapid pace of fossil fuel-fired generation retirements; and 3) the rapid increase in deployment of intermittent renewable energy resources, such an enforcement may help clarify for stakeholders the need for coal-fired generating units that may not always be competitive in the Southwest Power Pool's Integrated Market to remain in rate base.
