2900 SW Topeka Blvd. Topeka, KS 66611 April 2018 Issue (785) 267-1641 www.kmca.org Dispatch Trucking solutions since 1936 Several bills await action by Kansas legislators after "spring break" The 2018 Kansas Legislature took it s spring break shortly after midnight on Saturday, April 7th. Controversy prevailed as the Kansas House of Representatives stripped the contents out of a Senate Bill and replaced the content with their version of the school finance bill and sent it to the Senate for an up or down vote. The Senate passed the bill on a 21-19 vote. The school finance legislation now awaits the Governor s signature. The bill has a $525 million price tag over the next five years with no new tax increases. The Kansas Supreme Court ordered the Legislature to come up with a constitutional school finance formula and do so by April 30, 2018. The Legislature will return April 26th for what is known as the veto session and will have to pass the overall State budget. Of particular interest to CDL holders is the bill that changes the duration a CDL is valid from 4 years to 5 years. This change will bring the Kansas CDL in line with the TSA background checks for those that have a hazardous materials endorsement. TSA background checks are valid for 5 years. The bill currently awaits the Governor s signature. Additionally, both the House and Senate have passed their versions of a Transportation Task Force to provide input on a new long-term transportation plan. Each side has a different view of what the task force should look like. The bill remains in Conference Committee and will be addressed during the veto session. While KMCA does support creation of a transportation task force, we have major concerns about the size and make up of the task force. In one version, the task force is made up of numerous groups that stand to benefit financially from a new transportation plan with very few representatives that will actually pay the final bill. KMCA will continue to monitor this legislation and report back to the membership in our May legislative wrap up. The truck platooning legislation requested by KMCA will be re-introduced in the 2019 Session of the Kansas Legislature allowing more time to educate lawmakers, the Kansas Department of Transportation, the Kansas Turnpike Authority, Kansas Highway Patrol and our membership. Peloton Technologies made a presentation to member of State agencies in the morning of April 19th and then to the KMCA Board of Directors that afternoon. If you need further information on any legislative topic, please contact KMCA Executive Director Tom Whitaker at tomw@kmca.org.
