Committee name taken from Kansas Legislature website.Written testimony in support of HB 2552, "prohibiting the secretary for children and families from using federal benefits of a child in need of care for the care and custody of the child and requiring the secretary to create and maintain an account of such benefits received for such child. HB 2552 would prohibit the Secretary of the Department for Children and Families from using federal benefits received by a child in foster care for the costs of care while in state custody. This legislation would also require the secretary to create accounts for children receiving federal benefits and directing the use of the benefits to be for the best interests of the child. ... This bill would require DCF to stop using these benefit funds for the costs of the child's care. Instead, DCF would be required to set up some type of trust account or ABLE (Achieving a Better Life Experience) accounts for the child to save these funds for future use.

Committee name taken from Kansas Legislature website.Testimony in opposition to HB 2673, "a bill directing the Department for Children and Families (DCF) to request a waiver from federal partners that prohibits the purchase of candy and soft drinks with food assistance, and to continuing to submit such a waiver until it has been granted. ... In order for such a waiver that excludes candy and soft drinks, as defined in K.S.A 79-3602c, to be granted, additional monitoring and reporting may be required by Food and Nutrition Services. ... However, the approval of such a waiver would create a responsibility for retailers to appropriately and consistently add and regularly update, their list of unallowed items.

Neutral Testimony for House Bill 2697 / presented by Lane Letourneau, Water Appropriation Program Manager, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
No full text"February 13, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Water, presented by Lane Letourneau, Water Appropriation Program Manager, Kansas Department of Agriculture.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2697. "As currently written, HB 2697 would modify K.S.A. 82a-1028, the provision of the Groundwater Management District Act K.S.A. 82a-1028 that currently provides that groundwater management districts shall have the power to provide advice and assistance in the management of drainage problems, storage, groundwater recharge, surface water management, and all other appropriate matters of concern to the district. Under the proposed amendment, the statute would provide that groundwater management districts can provide 'relevant information' related to those items rather than 'advice and assistance.'
Other Title: House Bill 2678
No full text"February 7, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Water, presented by Earl Lewis, Chief Engineer, Division of Water Resources, Kansas Department of Agriculture.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2678. "As currently written, HB 2678 would modify two items in the Kansas Water Banking Act. The first item is changing the current requirement that a deposit of a groundwater right into a water bank shall be for a period not more than 5 years to require that such a deposit be for a time period not more than 10 years. This does not change the effectiveness of the bank. It may help a water user make better management decisions about the length of time they wish to place their water right into the bank. The second item would allow a water user to exceed their authorized quantity, then obtain their savings account water to cover the overage after the pumping had occurred, as long as they request to do so before December 1 in the year which the water was used. Currently, a water user who wishes to use water from a water bank savings account to cover use in excess of their authorized quantity during a given year must withdraw water from the savings account prior to exceeding their authorized quantity. ... Allowing water users to use savings account water to cover an overpump after it has occurred will provide a tool to ensure their operations remain compliant.
Neutral Testimony for House Bill 2695 / presented by Lane Letourneau, Water Appropriation Program Manager, Kansas Department of Agriculture.
No full text"February 20, 2024."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Water, presented by Lane Letourneau, Water Appropriation Program Manager, Kansas Department of Agriculture.Neutral testimony concerning HB 2695. "As currently written, HB 2695 would modify K.S.A. 82a-1033 by adding a provision that would allow a majority of eligible voters in a groundwater management district (GMD) or an area within a GMD to have the ability to petition directly to the Chief Engineer for an extension or reduction of the GMD boundary. Currently, the law provides that only the GMD board can make that request. I am providing neutral testimony to ensure the committee that water users who request to petition out of a GMD would retain the same protections for their property rights under this bill that they currently have. Kansas has water rights located within and outside GMDs. All Kansas water rights are administered under the Kansas Water Appropriation Act, which includes rules and regulations for water rights both outside and inside GMDs. The statewide regulations that apply to water rights outside of GMDs and the GMD-specific regulations that apply only to water rights within each district are the same in most fundamental respects — they both recognize water rights as real property rights and provide protections for them accordingly. The GMD-specific regulations simply include some additional provisions intended to address issues specific to each local area.
