“STAR Bonds” for Professional Sports  |  HB2001

HB2001 authorizes STAR (Sales Tax and Revenue) bonds to finance major professional sports complexes.

The House passed HB2001 on June 18, 2024, by a vote of 84 to 38. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government has no business issuing bonds for professional sports. Privately owned billion-dollar professional sports teams should be expected to pay for their own facilities, which they can more than afford. “Economic development” is merely a cliché or code word used by cronies to coerce taxpayers into furnishing proliferate amounts of money to fund corporate-sponsored spending bills outside the limited purpose and scope of government. This bill is dependent upon sales tax revenue, making it an immoral, anti-constitutional act of government-imposed theft that takes from citizens the wages they have rightfully earned.

The Senate passed HB2001 on June 18, 2024, by a vote of 27 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the nays because government has no business issuing bonds for professional sports.

Prohibiting Federal Funds in Elections  |  HB2618

HB2618 prohibits federal moneys from being used for any election–related activities, unless appropriated or as otherwise provided by state law.

The House passed a motion to override the Governor’s veto on April 29, 2024, by a vote of 84 to 41. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because Executive Order 14019, signed by President Joe Biden in 2021, directs federal agencies and “approved” third-party organizations to be involved in voter registration and voter participation efforts. This scheme allows the federal government, without the approval of Congress, to interfere in state and local elections. Under Article I, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, the power to conduct elections rests first and foremost with the states. Kansas must exercise its constitutional authority and maintain control over its own elections.

Ban on Sex Mutilation of Children  |  SB233

SB233 would have banned healthcare providers from providing “gender transition” treatment to children.

The Senate passed a motion to override the Governor’s veto of SB233 on April 29, 2024, by a vote of 27 to 13. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because no person has a right to harm a child using the pretext of LGBTQ+ ideology. Sex mutilation against minor children violates their “unalienable” right to life and limb, as it absurdly attempts to erase their biological sex with fictional “gender identity” constructs. According to the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, every State has a duty to defend the basic humanity of its citizens, each of whom is born distinctly male or female, and, as the Declaration of Independence affirms, created equally in the image of God.

Ban on Sex Mutilation of Children  |  SB233

SB233 would have banned healthcare providers from providing “gender transition” treatment to children.

The House failed to pass a motion to override the Governor’s veto of SB233 on April 29, 2024, by a vote of 82 to 43. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because no person has a right to harm a child using the pretext of LGBTQ+ ideology. Sex mutilation against minor children violates their “unalienable” right to life and limb, as it absurdly attempts to erase their biological sex with fictional “gender identity” constructs.

Criminal Penalties for Coercing Abortions  |  HB2436

HB2436 creates the crime of coercion to obtain an abortion.

The House passed a motion to override the Governor’s veto of HB2436 on April 29, 2024, by a vote of 85 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because justice is the overall purpose of government. The State of Kansas has a dual role of protecting the “unalienable Rights” to life and liberty while punishing anyone responsible for depriving them. Equal justice of the law requires ending the practice of abortion entirely and securing the right to life for all persons. This most fundamental and God-given right is guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments of U.S. Constitution.    

Article V Convention: Term Limits  |  SCR1609

SCR1609 applies to Congress to “call a convention” under Article V of the U.S. Constitution for the purpose of proposing amendments that would set term limits on members of Congress.

The Senate failed to adopt SCR1609 on March 27, 2024, by a vote of 24 to 15. We have assigned pluses to the nays because term limits conflict with the right of the American people to choose their representatives. Moreover, an Article V constitutional convention (Con-Con) ought to be resisted. Instead of failing to uphold their oath of office and attempting to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, state legislators should act to immediately nullify all unconstitutional federal laws. Whenever the federal government assumes undelegated powers, in violation of the 10^th Amendment, nullification of such acts is the proper remedy. Article V was designed to correct potential errors or defects in the Constitution, not to “misconstrue or abuse its powers.” We must use Article VI to enforce the Constitution, rather than use Article V to change it.

Abortion Restrictions  |  SB286

SB286 would forbid abortion procedures, except when necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.

The Senate failed to withdraw SB286 from committee on March 21, 2024, by a vote of 7 to 26. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. Kansas ought to end the practice of abortion entirely and secure the right to life for all persons. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

Election Integrity  |  SB365

SB365 would have amended various provisions of election law, including changing the advance voting ballots deadline, requiring voting to be done by hand, and prohibiting the use of electronic voting systems, poll books, and remote ballot boxes.

The Senate failed to pass SB365 on March 5, 2024, by a vote of 18 to 22. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because this bill helps to reduce the risk of electoral fraud and voter disenfranchisement. Kansas should use its authority under Article I, Section 4, of the U.S. Constitution, as well as the 14th and 26th Amendments, to implement free, fair, and secure elections, thereby ensuring equal protection of “the right of citizens of the United States to vote.”

States’ Powers to Combat Illegal Migration  |  HR6035

HR6035 supports Texas in its efforts to combat illegal migration by affirming state sovereignty and encouraging the Governor of Kansas to offer the services of the Kansas National Guard.

The House adopted HR6035 on February 7, 2024, by a vote of 80 to 40. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because persons who enter the United States illegally—which, by definition, is a crime under federal law—should not be permitted sanctuary in Texas or any other state. Article IV, Section 4, requires the federal government to protect each of the states against invasion; however, Article 1, Section 10, of the U.S. Constitution allows the states to enter into agreements if “actually invaded.” Rather than pursue blatantly anti-American policies that undermine the rule of law and erode the value of citizenship, states should exercise their sovereign powers under the 10th Amendment to stop illegal migration and provide for the public safety. 

Born-Alive Infants Protection Act  |  HB2313

HB2313 enacts the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which protects babies born from failed abortions and mandates that medical professionals take measures to preserve the baby’s life, just as they would with any other birth.

The Kansas State House of Representatives voted to override the Governor’s veto on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 87 to 37. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right articulated in the Declaration of Independence and safeguarded by the U.S. Constitution, as guaranteed by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

Born-Alive Infants Protection Act  |  HB2313

HB2313 enacts the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which protects babies born from failed abortions and mandates that medical professionals take measures to preserve the baby’s life, just as they would with any other birth.

The Kansas State Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 31 to 9. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right articulated in the Declaration of Independence and safeguarded by the U.S. Constitution, as guaranteed by the 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments.

Minor Gender Reassignment Surgery  |  SB26

SB26 permits an individual who underwent gender reassignment procedures as a minor to initiate a civil lawsuit under the Act against the physician who conducted those procedures.

The Kansas State Senate failed to override the Governor’s veto of SB26 on April 26, 2023 by a vote of 26 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas like this for years. The indoctrination that leads people to believe that they can choose their pronouns and identify as a different gender is immoral. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders. Additionally, minors are not yet capable of giving informed consent and should not have the ability to choose a gender that contradicts their scientific classification, causing irreversible damage, so they should be able to initiate a civil lawsuit because the practice and belief is unnatural.

Kansas Apprenticeship Act  |  HB2292

HB2292 establishes the Kansas Apprenticeship Act aimed at broadening apprenticeship opportunities with various entities including businesses, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits. It facilitates this expansion through tax credits and grants. Additionally, it promotes teaching apprenticeships in public schools by offering scholarships for professional teaching degrees.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed HB2292 on April 6, 2023, by a vote of 110 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because such government acts, including taxpayer-funded grants and tax credits, are a misuse of tax dollars and are unnecessary interference in the free market. We encourage parents to withdraw their children from public school and explore alternative methods of education.

ESG Ban  |  HB2100

HB2100 introduces the Kansas Public Investments and Contracts Protection Act, which prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from showing favoritism or bias toward companies based on environmental, social, or governance (ESG) factors when awarding contracts. The bill bans fiduciaries of KPERS to prioritize the interests of participants and beneficiaries and restricts state agencies from implementing ESG criteria or imposing such standards on individuals or businesses.

The Kanas State House of Representatives passed HB2100 on April 6, 2023 by a vote of 76 to 47. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the government has a duty to protect Kansans’ individual liberties from the all-encompassing ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) movement. As a political scam that seeks to proliferate worldwide and implement the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens by restricting their access to financial services, among others, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily based on their own interests with freedom of association. The Bill of Rights and 14th Amendment were written to protect against undue deprivations or disparagements of a person’s “property.”

Minor Gender Reassignment Surgery  |  SB26

SB26 permits an individual who underwent gender reassignment procedures as a minor to initiate a civil lawsuit under the Act against the physician who conducted those procedures.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed SB26 on April 6, 2023 by a vote of 70 to 52. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the Left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas like this for years. The indoctrination that leads people to believe that they can choose their pronouns and identify as a different gender is immoral. Scientifically and biblically, there are only two genders. Additionally, minors are not yet capable of giving informed consent and should not have the ability to choose a gender that contradicts their scientific classification, causing irreversible damage, so they should be able to initiate a civil lawsuit because the practice and belief is unnatural.

Education Savings Accounts  |  SB83

SB83 provides for awards or grants for qualified students and establish the Kansas Education Enrichment Program Fund and provides Education Savings Accounts to parents across the state.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed SB83 on April 6, 2023 by a vote of 65 to 58. We have assigned pluses to the nays because while the idea of allowing money to follow a child to any school of their choice may initially sound appealing, it raises concerns. This policy essentially directs government funds toward supporting private schools, inevitably attaching certain conditions and implications to this financial support. Private schools should not accept government money.

Kansas Apprenticeship Act  |  HB2292

HB2292 establishes the Kansas Apprenticeship Act aimed at broadening apprenticeship opportunities with various entities including businesses, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits. It facilitates this expansion through tax credits and grants. Additionally, it promotes teaching apprenticeships in public schools by offering scholarships for professional teaching degrees.

The Kansas State Senate passed HB2292 on April 6, 2023, by a vote of 32 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because such government acts, including taxpayer-funded grants and tax credits, are a misuse of tax dollars and are unnecessary interference in the free market. We encourage parents to withdraw their children from public school and explore alternative methods of education.

ESG Ban  |  HB2100

HB2100 introduces the Kansas Public Investments and Contracts Protection Act, which prohibits state agencies and political subdivisions from showing favoritism or bias toward companies based on environmental, social, or governance (ESG) factors when awarding contracts. The bill bans fiduciaries of KPERS to prioritize the interests of participants and beneficiaries and restricts state agencies from implementing ESG criteria or imposing such standards on individuals or businesses.

The Kanas State Senate passed HB2100 on April 6, 2023 by a vote of 27 to 12. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the government has a duty to protect Kansans’ individual liberties from the all-encompassing ‘woke’ environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) movement. As a political scam that seeks to proliferate worldwide and implement the United Nations’ Agenda 2030, ESG denies the property rights of American citizens by restricting their access to financial services, among others, preventing both companies and individuals from entering into contracts voluntarily based on their own interests with freedom of association.

Education Savings Accounts  |  SB83

SB83 provides for awards or grants for qualified students and establish the Kansas Education Enrichment Program Fund and provides Education Savings Accounts to parents across the state.

The Kansas State Senate passed SB83 on April 6, 2023 by a vote of 17 to 20. We have assigned pluses to the nays because while the idea of allowing money to follow a child to any school of their choice may initially sound appealing, it raises concerns. This policy essentially directs government funds toward supporting private schools, inevitably attaching certain conditions and implications to this financial support. Private schools should not accept government money.

Con-Con  |  HCR5008

HCR5008 applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for a convention to propose a Balanced Budget Amendment.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed HCR5008 on March 22, 2023 by a vote of 74 to 48. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. HCR5008 should be opposed in favor of less risky, more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.

Con-Con  |  SCR1607

SCR1607 applies to Congress, under the provisions of Article V of the U.S. Constitution, for a convention to propose a term-limits amendment.

The Kansas State Senate passed SCR1607 on March 22, 2023 by a vote of 22 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials.

Kansas “Adult Learner” Grants  |  HB2400

HB2400 establishes a grant program for “adult learners” to pursue certain fields of study and provides “workforce retention” tax credits.

The House passed HB2400 on March 16, 2023, by a vote of 116 to 6. We have assigned pluses to the nays because education is not the role of government. This bill only extends the government’s monopoly over K-12 education and beyond. Its exchange of public subsidies for curriculum and other regulatory controls effectively turns every participating “adult learner” into a postsecondary government-school student. Also, the “workforce retention” tax credits mean that “eligible” adult graduates (with little or no tax liability) are later given additional government funds. Freedom cannot be achieved by forcing other citizens to furnish their hard-earned dollars to fund all that now entails a compulsory, failing, and government-run school system.

Limiting Public Health Authority  |  SB6

SB6 removes the authority of public health officials to issue certain orders related to infectious and contagious diseases.

The Senate passed SB6 on February 23, 2023, by a vote of 22 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the yeas because “public health” is not the legitimate object of government. An individual’s non-injurious personal health care decisions should be considered private matters not under federal, state, or local jurisdiction in the United States. Compelling every person to cover their face, quarantine, or be vaccinated—regardless of whether they have an infection or contagious disease and under the guise of “preventive medical treatment”—is not only unscientific, but it violates the fundamental rights of the people protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment.

Prevent Mask & Vaccine Mandates  |  SB34

SB34 prohibits governmental entities and public officials from imposing mask mandates and vaccine mandates during the spread of a contagious or infectious disease. This legislation also limits the powers of the governor and other governmental entities, including the Kansas emergency management, to mandate face masks. This requires judicial review of certain emergency actions.

The Kansas State Senate passed SB34 on April 28, 2022 by a vote of 23 to 17.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to receive a vaccination, wear a mask, or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Election Integrity  |  HB2138

HB2138 requires all voting systems for elections to use individual voter-verified paper ballots with a distinctive watermark. It also requires that the secretary of state and local election officers are to provide an affidavit to be signed by election workers regarding handling of completed ballots, requiring audits of any federal, statewide or state legislative race that is within 1% of the total votes cast.

The Kansas State Senate passed HB2138 on April 1, 2022 by a vote of 28 to 8. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and any measure taken to restore trust in the process is a win for our country.

COVID-19 Treatments  |  HB2280

HB2280 allows the prescribing and dispensing of medications for off-label use to prevent and treat COVID-19 infections. This legislation also requires child care facilities and schools to grant religious exemptions from vaccination requirements without inquiring questioning religious beliefs.

The Kansas State Senate passed HB2280 on March 23, 2022 by a vote of 21 to 16. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual has the fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities to make medical decisions for themselves, which are protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Con-Con  |  SCR1611

SCR1611 applies Kansas to an Article V Convention to propose amendments to limit federal power. This vote was to send SCR1611 back to committee. This legislation followed the wording of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States Project, or COS Project, application, urging Congress to call a convention to propose amendments “that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.

The Kansas State Senate passed SCR1611 on May 5, 2021 by a vote of 21 to 19. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the motion was to send SCR1611 back to committee, which essentially kills the bill. A so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials.

Second Amendment Rights  |  HB2058

HB2058 lowers the minimum age for a concealed carry permit from 21 year old to 18 years old.

The Kansas State Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto for HB2058 on May 3, 2021 and passed by a vote of 31 to 8. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The constitution does not limit who, where, and when someone can carry a firearm.

Fairness in Women’s Sports Act  |  SB55

SB55 requires that public school female student athletic teams only include members who are biologically female.

The Kansas State Senate voted to override the Governor’s veto for SB55 on May 3, 2021 by a vote of 26 to 14. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the left has been promoting radical Marxist ideas for years. This indoctrination is letting people believe that they can choose their pronouns and that they can be transgender. Scientifically and biblically, there are two genders. Taxpayers fund sports programs in schools, so this legislation ensures that taxpayer dollars will not be going to athletic programs that embrace the woke culture.

Prevent Mask & Vaccine Mandates  |  SB34

SB34 Prohibits governmental entities and public officials from imposing mask mandates and vaccine mandates during the spread of a contagious or infectious disease. This legislation also limits the powers of the governor and other governmental entities, including the Kansas emergency management, to mandate face masks. This requires judicial review of certain emergency actions.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed SB34 on April 28, 2022 by a vote of 64 to 53. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because an individual’s personal health care decisions should not be the object of government, nor be under its federal, state, or local jurisdictions in the United States. Forcing an individual to receive a vaccination, wear a mask, or partake in any medical procedure would be a violation of their fundamental rights, freedoms, privileges, or immunities protected by the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Secure Paper Ballots  |  HB2138

HB2138 requires all voting systems for elections to use individual voter-verified paper ballots with a distinctive watermark. It also requires that the secretary of state and local election officers are to provide an affidavit to be signed by election workers regarding handling of completed ballots, requiring audits of any federal, statewide or state legislative race that is within 1% of the total votes cast.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed HB2138 on April 26, 2022 by a vote of 82 to 40.  We have assigned pluses to the ayes because strengthening our election laws are crucial in the preservation of our election process and election integrity. Article IV, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution provides that “citizens” of the United States “shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities,” such as the “right of citizens of the United States” to vote as prescribed in the 26th Amendment. Tightening election laws preserve the integrity of the election process and any measure taken to restore trust in the process is a win for our country.

Business Rights  |  SB493

SB493 prohibits cities and counties from regulating plastic and other containers designed for the consumption, transportation or protection of merchandise, food or beverages.

The Kansas State House of Representatives passed SB493 on March 23, 2022 by a vote of 74 to 48. We have assigned pluses to the ayes because the government should not interfere in the free market by compelling businesses to take specific actions. Throughout the country, plastic bans are being implemented to address “climate change” and embrace this woke agenda.

Con-Con  |  HCR5027

HCR5027 applies to the Congress of the United States to call a convention of the states. This legislation followed the wording of Mark Meckler’s Convention of States Project, or COS Project, application, urging Congress to call a convention to propose amendments “that impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress.

The Kansas State House of Representatives rejected HCR5027 on March 9, 2022 by a vote of 76 to 43. To pass, the House needed to pass HCR5027 with a 2/3 majority.  We have assigned pluses to the nays because a so-called “Convention of the States” would not be of “limited” purpose. The vague and contradictory text contained in this joint resolution dangerously permits what Article V of the U.S. Constitution describes as a “Convention for proposing Amendments” or second constitutional convention. Notably, Article V of the U.S. Constitution was designed to correct structural deficiencies in the federal government, not the behavior of its elected officials. HCR5027 should be opposed in favor of less risky, more precise, and immediate solutions that would restore power back to the states and to the people, such as clear-cut proposals in Congress to repeal bad amendments or state nullification of specific unauthorized federal laws.

The Kansas State House of Representatives voted to override the Governor’s veto for HB2058 on May 3, 2021 and passed by a vote of 84 to 39. We have assigned the pluses to the ayes because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The constitution does not limit who, where, and when someone can carry a firearm.
