HB 2221 would also amend current statute to direct revenues previously credited to the KDOC fund to the KDADS fund. This fund is solely used by KDOC to reimburse KDADS for 3rd time and subsequent DUI treatment services rendered by providers under contract with KDADS. ... KDOC and KDADS have agreed that, given KDOC's lack of jurisdiction over the program and its participants, it would be more efficient and effective for KDADS to receive these funds directly.

No full text"February 5, 2025."
Testimony before the Kansas Legislature, Senate Utilities Committee, presented by Justin Grady, Deputy Director, Utilities Division, Kansas Corporation Commission.
This same testimony was presented before the Kansas Legislature, House Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Telecommunications, by Justin Grady, Deputy Director, Utilities Division, Kansas Department of Health and Environment, on February 27, 2025.Testimony in support of SB 92. "The Staff of the Commission (Staff) is proposing a narrow change to K.S.A. 66-1,178(d) to increase the time allowed for the Commission to issue a final order in transmission line siting applications from 120 days to 180 days. We believe this change will improve the Commission's evaluation of a transmission line siting application by allowing more opportunity for landowner input and involvement in the process. Because landowners along a potential transmission line route may be impacted by the line for many decades to come, we owe it to them to take the necessary time to hear and consider their concerns, and to evaluate potential alternative routes prior to the determination of the final line route. ... Transmission lines take several years to plan and construct. ... Adding 60 days to the Commission's timeline to evaluate the route of a proposed transmission line in Kansas will not materially affect these timelines.

Sign-on and retention bonuses are helpful tools for recruitment efforts in an increasingly competitive job market. The legislation would provide additional tools for negotiation, financial incentives for new hires, and could provide new benefits that make KDOT stand out from other employers seeking similar prospective employees."
