Interim Committee Reports to the 2017 Kansas Legislature

In the 2016 Interim, the Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC) appointed four special committees to study four study topics. The LCC further specified four issues to be studied by the Special Committee on Foster Care Adequacy and seven such items for study by the Special Committee on Larned and Osawatomie State Hospitals. Legislation recommended by the committees will be available in the Documents Room early in the 2017 Session.

Joint committees created by statute met in the 2016 Interim as provided in the statutes specific to each joint committee. Several of the joint committees have reported on their activities, and those reports are contained in this publication. Legislation recommended by these committees will be available in the Documents Room early in the 2017 Session.

This publication also contains reports of other committees, commissions, and task forces that are not special committees created by the Legislative Coordinating Council or joint committees.

Minutes of the meetings of the special committees, joint committees, other committees, commissions, task forces, and panels are on file in the Division of Legislative Administrative Services. A summary of each reporting entity’s conclusions and recommendations may be found beginning on page i.
