Topeka, KS – A pair of top lawmakers say Kansas may not need to keep a state of emergency for COVID-19 in place past the end of March.
The comments Monday from Senate President Ty Masterson and Senate Majority Leader Gene Suellentrop signaled some resistance from the Legislature to keeping pandemic restrictions in place through the spring.
Their comments are significant because a law enacted last month keeps the current state of emergency in place only through March 31.
Lawmakers haven't yet discussed how far they want to let Gov. Laura Kelly extend the current state of emergency.
