The brownback experiment nearly destroyed the state. Brownback took 10 million away from the community mental health centers, and they never recovered. This will happen again to other social services.
House Majority Leader Chris Croft told JoCo Republicans in private Zoom calls he wants to drive the corporate income tax rate to zero, worried Gov. Laura Kelly would get credit for attracting Chiefs, and blamed Republicans for spending increases #ksleg kansasreflector.com/2024/10/…

The Omnibus budget I signed last month adds $4.5M to the Mental Health Intervention Pilot to expand students’ access to behavioral health services. We're investing more than $18M in the upcoming school year to ensure Kansas students have access to the resources they need.

This week, I signed a law that increases the availability of community mental health services through Assisted Outpatient Treatment programs. Expansion of these services is essential for Kansans to receive the care they need — this law does just that.

If you're a licensed social worker looking to relocate or new to Kansas, we just made it easier for you to practice. This #ksleg session, I signed a bill enacting the social work licensure compact.
Social Worker retweeted
This compact will simplify licensure processes, while increasing Kansans’ access to mental health care and other essential services.

Today, I will be wearing orange in solidarity with efforts to raise awareness about gun violence. Common sense gun laws are vital for the safety of all Kansans. They are not only necessary but long overdue. Senseless policies have cost the lives of too many. #WearOrange #ksleg
