Other Title: Relating to Speeding 100+ MPH
No full text"February 15, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Transportation Committee, presented by Chris Bortz, Assistant Bureau Chief of Transportation Safety, Kansas Department of Transportation.Testimony in support of SB 476. "KDOT supports this bill as it relates to safety on our roadways. Safety for the traveling public is a priority at KDOT. Speeding puts the lives of everyone on Kansas roadways including our KDOT workforce who are out working on our roads daily. Traveling at higher speeds decreases a driver’s reaction time resulting in an increased likelihood of a vehicle crash. These higher speeds also increase the likelihood a driver and/or others will sustain more severe injuries including fatalities in the event of a crash. KDOT strives to improve the safety and quality of life for the traveling public. This bill would provide additional penalties to an offender when cited for a speed in excess of 100 MPH. These additional penalties coupled with the current traffic fine structure are meant to hold offenders accountable and be a deterrent to drivers that are excessively driving above the posted speed limit and putting themselves and everyone else on the road at risk. This bill supports the mission of the Drive to Zero coalition to reduce deaths and injuries on Kansas roads.

Neutral Testimony for House Bill 2634 / presented by Earl Lewis, Chief Engineer, Division of Water Resources, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
No full text"February 6, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Water, presented by Earl Lewis, Chief Engineer, Division of Water Resources, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, by Earl Lewis, Chief Engineer, Division of Water Resources, Kansas Department of Agriculture on March 13, 2024.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2634. "As currently written, HB 2634 would allow an Intensive Groundwater Use Control Area (IGUCA) or Local Enhanced Management Area (LEMA) plan to be written to allow flexibility in the use of water rights. These changes would allow water users that have multi-year allocations and to use water in excess of a water right's annual authorized quantity in any given year as long as the overall use of water is reduced during the term of the IGUCA or LEMA. We feel this is a positive change in the law. ... One way this would improve current law is by providing clarity for water users. Many water right owners are aware that KDA–DWR offers multi-year flex accounts (MYFAs), which provide a multi-year water quantity allocation much like existing IGUCAs and LEMAs have done but also allow an enrolled water right's annual quantity to be exceeded as long as the MYFA allocation is not exceeded over the five-year term of the MYFA. Exceeding a water right's authorized quantity in that fashion is not currently provided for in the IGUCA or LEMA statutes, and this key difference between the two tools has caused confusion among water right owners in the past. We also believe that this change would help promote conservation. ... By granting water users this flexibility, it can delay water use, extending the life of the High Plains Aquifer. What is not pumped today is there for the future."
Testimony in Support of House Bill 2608 [Senate] / presented by Josh McGinn, Assistant Secretary, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
No full text"March 20, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources, presented by Josh McGinn, Assistant Secretary, Kansas Department of Agriculture.Testimony in support of HB 2608. "The vast majority of U.S. states prohibit the entry of any poultry shipments except those designated pullorum-typhoid clean. In order to certify that their shipments are pullorum-typhoid free, businesses participate in the NPIP to ensure their products have tested negative for pullorum-typhoid before leaving their home state. ... Since 1945, Kansas has participated in the NPIP. The Division of Animal Health within KDA serves as the official state agency for the administration and oversight of NPIP programs in Kansas. This includes interstate commerce, import/export, disease surveillance, testing, permitting, and disease response plan activities. These activities have been carried out by the Division of Animal Health veterinarians at no cost to the businesses and individuals requesting the service. HB 2608 would enable KDA to assess a participant fee for any entity or person who wants to voluntarily participate in the NPIP program. ... KDA also works with outside certified individuals who may elect to become a certified tester for pullorum-typhoid. Once certified, an individual would be capable of performing poultry disease diagnostic services pursuant to the poultry disease control act. HB 2608 would allow the agency to assess a fee for certifying anyone wanting to become a certified tester. In the House Committee, an amendment was added to make it clear that this program is specific to testing for pullorum-typhoid.

Committee names taken from Kansas Legislature website.Testimony in support of HB 2628. "HB 2628 proposes an additional criteria under which DCF can release information to the public in the event of a fatality of a child. The current statute, which is confusing to the media and public, requires DCF complete its investigation and make a finding of abuse or neglect before any case information may be released to the public. For many reasons, there may be delays in the ability of DCF to make a finding of abuse or neglect. Most commonly, DCF might have paused its work during the course of a law enforcement investigation. HB 2628 would amend statute to allow for the release of information by DCF upon the filing of criminal charges against a person alleging that person caused the child fatality. ... In some cases, this will allow DCF to release information sooner and in all cases, this will ensure DCF, and the criminal justice system are aligned and able to release publicly relevant information on these situations consistently and in a timely manner.
