Legislation

Creating a maximum length of time for an agreement between a utility company and law enforcement to install surveillance cameras on public utility poles.

Undermining the Kansans' rights to receive accurate medical information and information regarding their constitutional right to an abortion, creating special legal privileges for crisis pregnancy centers, and placing institutional ideology above the rights and dignity of individuals.

Rewriting state statutes to treat federal officers as state and local law enforcement, extending Kansas criminal penalties to interactions with federal agents, and arbitrarily broadening tort immunity to cover enforcement of federal laws and executive orders.

Expands county sheriffs’ authority to detain individuals for civil immigration purposes, insulates law enforcement from accountability, and removes longstanding democratic oversight.

Requiring the Secretary of Corrections to assist inmates with obtaining identification and employment-related documentation prior to release from custody.

Expanding pre-trial detention practices by reducing how jail credits are applied, imposing more rigid sentencing rules, and setting mandatory minimum bond amounts.

This bill includes provisions that threaten to disenfranchise Kansans twice over. First, it relies on signature verification rules known to disenfranchise eligible voters. Second, it threatens to eliminate “no excuse” mail-in voting if courts intervene to protect those voters’ rights. Courts often intervene to address unconstitutional implementation practices, not to attack mail-in voting itself. Rather than fixing the problems with signature verification, this bill takes a far more extreme approach: if courts protect voters and their constitutional right to vote, the legislature will punish them. This is not good-faith policymaking, nor is this a strategy for election integrity. This is a recipe for voter suppression.

Expanding the use of juvenile detention and an increased commitment to correctional facilities.

Requiring a person transmitting or delivering a ballot on behalf of another voter to include such person's driver's license number in the written statement on the ballot envelope.
