2025 Legislative Session Information and Updates
Week 1 2025 Legislative Report
Weekly Legislative Report for Week 1 January 13-17, 2025
Report Date 1/21/24
The first week is over with little action and only a few bills introduced. You can see the list of bills of interest that have been introduced at this link.
We are off to the typical slow start. The biggest change for this session is the announcement they are going to count the 90 days for the legislature differently. In the past, it was 90-days in session. This year they have said it will be 90 calendar days. They still have not published the final calendar with deadlines and dates of key milestones of the session. I am not sure what the impact of this is going to be other than they may wrap up the session a couple of weeks earlier than normal.
Stay tuned this week as many more bills will be published.
Mark your calendars for the 2025 Legislative Reception held on January 28 jointly with the Kansas Sheriffs Association and the Kansas Peace Officers Association. KACP will meet with the KPOA to discuss legislation priorities at 1:00 in the Jefferson Room at the Ramada Inn in Topeka. The reception is from 5:00 to 7:00 also at the Ramada Inn.
