This is the final week of the regular Kansas legislative session. State Representative Lonnie Clark said bills from the different committees are being voted on this week.
Clark noted that his Veterans and Military Committee worked on a number of bills involving automobile tags. "Distinctive tags for disabled veterans. Another bill that came out of Vet and Military was a reduction in the cost of traveling on the turnpike for veterans over 65 years of age and retired."
Clark added that he was working on a bill in his committee to try and bring a veterans retirement home to Junction City. "It made it of our committee but it didn't make it to the ( House ) floor. I'm not sure if that's going to come up again next year or I'll have to reintroduce it."
The state representative said there are a number of things with legislation and trying to move it through the system.
Clark said schools have done well, and the budget for education passed on a near unanimous vote. Overall he called it a really good session.
