This approach to care prevents and relieves suffering through the early identification, assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, whether physical, psychosocial or spiritual. Palliative care is delivered based on needs, not prognosis. It is appropriate at any age or any stage of an illness and can be delivered along with curative treatment."Definition of Palliative Care

Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Child Welfare and Foster Care, presented by Deputy Secretary Tanya Keys, Kansas Department for Children and Families.
Committee name taken from Kansas Legislature website.Testimony in support of "HB 2581: Eliminating the court's requirement to order child support be paid to the secretary when custody of a child is awarded to the secretary. This bill proposes a statutory amendment in K.S.A. 38-2234 removing the requirement that a child support order be requested in every petition in a Child in Need of Care action. The bill also proposes an amendment to K.S.A. 38-2255 removing the requirement for the Court to enter an order for child support when a child has been placed in the Custody of the Secretary of the Department for Children and Families. ... DCF's goal is to walk alongside children and families in achieving permanency through reintegration or adoption. The proposed statutory changes support this practice and are in the best interest of Kansas children and families. The foster care funds currently collected by CSS are retained by DCF and may be utilized to reimburse the costs of administering the child support program. They are not directly benefiting the citizens of Kansas as support. Eliminating the practice of referring all cases to child support will promote families, reduce the work effort on these often difficult-to-collect cases and allow staff to focus on outreach efforts and other collection activities that directly benefit the populations we serve.
House Bill 2591 – Neutral Testimony / presented by Andrew J. French, Chairperson, Kansas Corporation Commission.
No full text"February 13, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Telecommunications, presented by Andrew J. French, Chairperson, Kansas Corporation Commission.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2591. "HB 2591 makes two changes to Kansas law. First, it clarifies the Kansas Open Meetings Act (KOMA) does not apply to docketed proceedings before the Commission, allowing Commissioners to privately deliberate in those court-like proceedings. Second, the Bill expands and clarifies the prohibitions on ex parte communications in docketed KCC proceedings. While I am neutral on the Bill, it is my opinion that HB 2591 would aid the Commission in performing its statutory duties and does not, in any way, undermine the State's interest in open and transparent government.
