Kansas Legislature Adjourns Sine Die

The Kansas Legislature adjourned its regular session sine die on April 11. Lawmakers passed the House substitute for Senate Bill 260, concerning election and campaign finance laws. Introduced in 2025 as a bill related to horse racing, the bill was substituted in March with a bill for state data collection on newborns to advertise children’s savings accounts and amended in conference committee to its final form. The bill removes the requirement to list a committee treasurer’s name in attributions in political advertisements and on communications intended to influence the vote in question-submitted elections. In addition, when a committee expenditure is made by payment to an advertising agency, public relations firm, or political consultants for disbursements to vendors, reports of expenditures are no longer required to show in detail the name of each vendor. Gov. Laura Kelly approved the bill on April 7, and it takes effect July 1.
