In accordance with KSA 75-3715a, the following fiscal note concerning HB 2253 is
respectfully submitted to your committee.
HB 2253 would enact Kathy’s Bill. The bill would require the state to give preference to
individuals with disabilities in hiring and promotion, including offering an interview. The bill
would also require preference be given to individuals with disabilities for retention in the event of
layoffs. The bill would apply only to the Executive Branch.
The Department of Administration indicates the bill’s enactment would not have a fiscal
effect on the Department or the State of Kansas employment process in general.
Sincerely,
