Includes House Appropriations Committee Action
Sec. 2 — Board of Accountancy
The agency requests a revised estimate of $507,385, all from the Board of Accountancy
Fee Fund, in expenditures and 3.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. The revised estimate is $9,894, or
2.0 percent, above the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. The agency submits two
supplemental requests, one for a database conversion ($8,000) and one for increased legal
fees charged by contracting attorneys ($8,000). The agency's revised estimate includes a
decrease of $6,106 in other adjustments, including base salary rate adjustments and fringe
benefits. The agency requests 3.0 FTE positions, which is the same as the approved number.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
The agency requests $468,475, all from the Board of Accountancy Fee Fund, in
expenditures and 3.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $42,378, or 9.9 percent,
above the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. This increase is primarily attributable to
the agency's four enhancement requests related to database conversion ($8,000), legal fees
(8,000), the salary pay plan ($15,119), and hospitality ($400). The agency requests 3.0 FTE
positions, which is the same as the approved number.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 revised estimate.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 3 — Office of the State Bank Commissioner
The agency requests a revised estimate of $13.3 million, all from special revenue funds,
in expenditures and 114.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $109,648, or 0.8
percent, below the FY 2024 approved amount. This is partially due to less out-of-state travel
than the agency originally anticipated as a result of lingering impacts from the COVID-19
pandemic. The decrease is also a result of other contractual services, such as legal fees and
dues paid to professional organizations, being lower than the agency budgeted. At the time of
the original budget submission, the agency was unsure of how many outside services would be
needed to regulate the TEFFI industry. However, the agency notes that it did not receive any
applications to establish new TEFFI entities in the state during the 2023 Interim, leading the
agency to believe that it will be able to regulate the existing TEFFI entity without additional
moneys.
The decrease in the agency's revised estimate is partially offset by three supplemental
requests in FY 2024. First, the revised estimate includes a request for $127,714 in supplemental
funding and an increase of 2.0 FTE positions to hire two additional Trust Examiners. The
agency anticipates an increase in the number of trust assets under its regulatory supervision
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 1 - March 10, 2024 and requests additional resources to ensure trust files, which are increasingly complex in
nature, are adequately reviewed during examinations.
Second, the revised estimate includes a request for $68,467 in supplemental funding for
compensation increases for OSBC staff. According to the agency, a competitive salary structure
for their Financial Examiners and other staff will allow the OSBC to attract and retain high-
quality employees rather than compete with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
and private financial institutions.
Third, the revised estimate includes a request for $12,420 in supplemental funding to
increase the per diem compensation for members of the State Banking Board from $35 per
meeting to $150 per meeting. The current per diem rate has remained unchanged since 1974.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $13.3 million, all from special revenue
funds, and 114.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $12,420, or 0.1 percent, below
the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The decrease is due to the Governor not
recommending the agency's supplemental request to increase the per diem compensation for
members of the State Banking Board.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 4 — Office of the State Bank Commissioner
The agency requests $13.3 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
114.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $399,501, or 3.1 percent, above the FY
2025 approved amount, and a decrease of $42,676, or 0.3 percent, below the FY 2024 revised
estimate. The increase above the approved amount is due to four enhancement requests that
would impact the salaries and wages category of expenditures, though this is partially offset by
a decrease in expenditures for out-of-state travel. Moreover, the decrease below the FY 2024
revised estimate is due to the agency budgeting less for capital outlay expenses, such as
computer hardware and information processing equipment.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $13.3 million, all from special revenue
funds, and 114.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. The is a decrease of $12,420, or 0.1 percent,
below the agency's FY 2025 request. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending
the agency's enhancement request to increase the per diem compensation for members of the
State Banking Board.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 5 — Board of Barbering
The agency requests a revised estimate of $228,196, all from the Board of Barbering
Fee Fund, in expenditures and 1.9 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an expenditure increase of
$21,325, or 10.3 percent, above the FY 2024 approved amount. The increase is attributable to
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 2 - March 10, 2024 the supplemental requests for computer-based testing fee increase ($5,000), electronic
licensing platform ($12,500), rent increase ($325), and out-of-state travel ($3,500).
The Governor recommends expenditures of $215,371, all from the Board of Barbering
Fee Fund, and 1.9 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $12,825, or 5.6 percent,
below the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The decrease is due to the Governor not
recommending the agency's enhancement requests for costs related to the electronic licensing
platform and the increase in office rent.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2024
1. Add $325, all from the Board of Barbering Fee Fund, for increases in rent for office
space and escalator fees in FY 2024.
Sec. 6 — Board of Barbering
The agency submits a revised estimate of $234,401, all from the Board of Barbering
Fee Fund, and 1.9 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $31,997, or 15.8 percent,
above the FY 2025 approved amount, as well as an increase of $6,205, or 2.7 percent, above
the FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is attributable to the enhancement requests for
computer-based testing fee increase ($5,000), electronic licensing platform ($12,500), rent
increase ($325), out-of-state travel ($5,200), and the pay plan shortfall ($8,972).
The Governor recommends expenditures of $221,576, all from the Board of Barbering
Fee Fund, and 1.9 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $12,825, or 5.5 percent,
below the agency's FY 2025 request. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending
the agency's enhancement requests for costs related to the electronic licensing platform and the
increase in office rent.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Add $325, all from the Board of Barbering Fee Fund, for increases in rent for office
space and escalator fees for FY 2025.
Sec. 7 — Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1.2 million, all from the BSRB Fee Fund, in
expenditures and 11.5 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is the same as the amount approved by
the 2023 Legislature.
While the agency does not request an increase to its expenditure limitation, the agency’s
estimate does include changes within and between categories of expenditure within the amount
approved by the 2023 Legislature. The revised estimate includes an increase of $3,228 in
salaries and wages due to increases in fringe benefits, and an increase of $1,375 in
commodities for office supplies for the two new licensing specialists approved by the 2023
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 3 - March 10, 2024 Legislature. These increases are offset by an estimated decrease of $3,163 in contractual
services attributable to a decrease in legal services and other decreased expenditures.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2024
1. Add language to require the agency to enforce regulations requiring social work
programs to have at least 50.0 percent of the program coursework completed in-person
or by synchronous videoconferencing at one institution in FY 2024.
Sec. 8 — Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1.2 million, all from the BSRB Fee Fund, in
expenditures and 11.5 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $22,909, or 2.0
percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate and $25,776, or 2.2 percent, above the amount
approved by the 2023 Legislature. This increase is primarily to account for an increase in
expenditure limitation that was inadvertently omitted from the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB
25. This adjustment would achieve the intended effect of the pay plan and does not represent a
substantive change from the salary adjustments approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor concurs with the agency's requested expenditure limitation for FY 2025.
However, the Governor recommends the addition of 0.5 FTE position to convert a part-time
position to full-time to assist with the agency's licensing responsibilities, which have expanded in
recent years. The Governor recommends decreasing the agency's contracted labor budget by
$25,000 for FY 2025 and increasing the salaries and wages budget by the same amount. This
results in no change to the expenditure limitation when compared with the agency's request for
FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Add language to require the agency to enforce regulations requiring social work
programs to have at least 50.0 percent of the program coursework completed in-person
or by synchronous videoconferencing at one institution for FY 2025.
Sec. 9 — Kansas State Board of Healing Arts
The agency requests $7.3 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
67.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is the same as the amount approved by the 2023
Legislature. However, there are changes to the expenditure categories. The revised estimate
includes an increase of $37,894, or 0.7 percent, in salaries and wages, largely due to increased
expenditures for employee pay and employer contributions to Social Security. The increase is
partially offset by a decrease of $32,269, or 1.8 percent, in contractual services for computer
programming services and decreased expenditures for office supplies.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 4 - March 10, 2024 The Governor concurs with the agency's request in FY 2024.
The agency requests $7.4 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
68.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $200,041, or 2.8 percent, above the
agency's FY 2025 approved amount. The increase is entirely due to the agency's enhancement
request to fund the state employee pay plan in FY 2025 that was approved by the 2023
Legislature. The agency's revised request includes 68.0 FTE positions, which is an increase of
1.0 FTE position above the 2025 approved number. This position will be an administrative
specialist in the licensing program.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Delete 1.0 FTE position for an administrative specialist in the licensing program for
FY 2025.
2. Add language requiring the agency to decrease all fees collected related to licensure
applications or licensure renewal by 15.0 percent for FY 2025.
Sec. 10 — Board of Cosmetology
The agency submits a revised estimate of $1.3 million, all from the Cosmetology Fee
Fund, in expenditures and 14.5 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $277, or less
than 0.1 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate, as well as an increase of $29,200, or 2.4
percent, above the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. The revised estimate includes
$29,200 from the Cosmetology Fee Fund for FY 2025 to account for an increase in expenditure
limitations that was inadvertently left out of the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB 25. This
adjustment would achieve the intended effect of the pay plan and does not represent a
substantive change from the salary adjustments approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $1.4 million, all from the Cosmetology Fee
Fund, and 15.5 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $100,000, or 7.9 percent, and
1.0 FTE position above the agency's FY 2025 request. This includes $50,000 and 1.0 FTE
position for an IT Technician and $50,000 for contractual audit services for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $50,000, all from the Cosmetology Fee Fund, and 1.0 FTE position for an IT
specialist for FY 2025.
2. Delete $50,000, all from the Cosmetology Fee Fund, for the contractual audit
services for FY 2025.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 5 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 11 — Kansas Department of Credit Unions
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1,397,329, all from the Credit Union Fee
Fund, in expenditures and 12.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This represents an increase of
$90,000, or 6.9 percent, above the FY 2024 approved amount and is due to the agency's
supplemental request for additional travel funding. The agency anticipates that it will have a fully
staffed examination team that will travel throughout the state to conduct credit union
examinations.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.

Fund, in expenditures and 12.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $2,396, or 0.2
percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate, as well as an increase of $130,844, or 10.3
percent, above the FY 2025 approved amount. The request includes enhancement requests for
additional travel funding ($90,000) and an increase in expenditure limitations that was
inadvertently left out of the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB 25 ($40,844).
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 13 — Kansas Dental Board
The agency requests a revised estimate of $569,069, all from the Dental Board Fee

2024.
Sec. 14 — Kansas Dental Board
The agency requests $574,069, all from the Dental Board Fee Fund, in expenditures

in expenditures and 20.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $228,867,
or 6.0 percent, above the FY 2025 approved amount, but a decrease of $261,941, or 6.1

2023 legislature ($74,739), a new FTE position in the compliance division ($151,715), and an
increase in the agency's hospitality fund ($500).

for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $500 below the agency's revised request, due to the
Governor not recommending an increase of $500 for hospitality expenditures.

promotions, add funding for a University Economist during the Consensus Revenue Estimating

shortfall. The request includes 33.5 FTE positions, which is the same as the FY 2024 approved
number.

or 3.0 percent, below the FY 2024 approved budget. The decrease is attributable to the lapse of
excess SGF funds ($1.1 million) and is partially offset by the addition of $40,765 for the pay plan
shortfall. The Legislature's budget includes funding for Kansas Legislative Information System
and Services (KLISS) Modernization in FY 2024 and FY 2025. The budget includes $71.1

$487,891 in reappropriated funds that are included in the approved amount, as well as reduced
estimates for travel and other professional fees. The revised estimate includes 26.0 FTE
positions, which is the same as the approved number.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the

Sec. 22 — Legislative Division of Post Audit
The agency requests $3.5 million SGF for FY 2025, a decrease of $64,332, or 1.8
percent, below the FY 2024 revised estimate. The agency's request does not include any
enhancements. The decrease is attributable to not budgeting $50,000 for outside auditors and
consultants and a reduction of $14,332 in fringe benefits. The fringe benefit reduction is
primarily related to employer contributions for Kansas Public Employees Retirement System
(KPERS) ($24,299), partially offset by an increase for group health insurance. The request
includes 26.0 FTE positions, which is the same as FY 2024.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 11 - March 10, 2024 The Governor concurs with the agency's request for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 23 — Office of the Governor
The agency requests $50.7 million, including $23.1 million SGF, for FY 2025. The
request is a decrease of $6.6 million, or 11.5 percent, and an SGF decrease of $358,445, or 1.5
percent, below the FY 2024 revised estimate. The SGF decrease is attributable to the lack of
reappropriations ($596,209), partially offset by increases in the Administration program
($118,584), with $162,262 allocated for salary and wage adjustments due to the elimination of
$153,278 in salaries and wages shrinkage. The remaining SGF increase is related to budgeted
reappropriations. The remaining adjustments are attributable decreases in federal grant
programs. The agency requests 63.3 FTE positions, which is the same as FY 2024.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $58.3 million, including $30.7 million SGF,
for FY 2025. The recommendation is an increase of $7.6 million, or 32.8 percent, all from the
SGF, above the agency's FY 2025 request. The increase is attributable to the addition of $5.9
million SGF for domestic violence prevention grants and $1.1 million SGF for Child Advocacy
Center Grants due a federal funding shortfall. The recommendation also adds $634,00 SGF for
the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program.

or 111.5 percent, above the FY 2024 approved amount. This includes an increase of $1.4 million

increased expenditures of $11.3 million from the Tort Claims Fund, $23.4 million from the
Kansas Fights Addiction Fund, and $7.8 million from the Municipalities Fight Addiction Fund.
Additionally, the revised estimate includes nine supplemental requests totaling $2.0 million and

and 198.2 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds decrease of $208,638, or 0.3 percent,
and an SGF decrease of $349,412, or 3.3 percent, and 2.0 FTE positions below the agency's
FY 2024 revised estimate. The expenditure and FTE decreases are attributable to the Governor
not recommending the agency's requests for $165,923 SGF in supplemental funding and 2.0
FTE positions for the total salary and benefits for an Investigator in the Affirmation Civil
Enforcement Unit and a Special Agent in Charge in the Licensing and Inspection Unit and
$200,000 SGF in supplemental funding to recover funds due to a shortage in the Court Cost
Fund in FY 2024.

Circle Program, Inc., which provides drug abuse prevention services to youths, in FY
2024.
Sec. 25 — Office of the Attorney General

200.2 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $35.2 million, or 43.0 percent,
below the FY 2024 revised estimate. This is primarily attributable to decreased expenditures of
$11.1 million from the Tort Claims Fund, $17.0 million from the Kansas Fights Addiction Fund,
and $5.7 million from the Municipalities Fight Addiction Fund. This is partially offset by the
agency's seven enhancement requests totaling $1.3 million and a request for an additional 5.0
FTE positions.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $46.6 million, including $9.9 million SGF,
and 198.2 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $173,485, or 0.4 percent,
and an SGF decrease of $1.0 million, or 9.3 percent, and 2.0 FTE positions below the agency's
FY 2025 request. The expenditure and FTE decreases are attributable to the Governor not
recommending the agency's requests for $173,485 SGF in enhancement funding and 2.0 FTE
positions for the total salary and benefits for an Investigator in the Affirmation Civil Enforcement
Unit and a Special Agent in Charge in the Licensing and Inspection Unit and $900,000 SGF in
enhancement funding to recover funds due to a shortage in the Court Cost Fund for FY 2025.

2025.
Sec. 26 — Office of the Secretary of State
The agency requests $7.0 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
41.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $633,142, or 8.3 percent, below the FY
2024 revised estimate. The decrease is primarily due to the agency's belief that it will have
completed its goals of (1) training county election officers on the administration of elections, and
(2) enhancing the security of the storage of voting equipment, as well as the security of voting
equipment when it is deployed during an election, by the beginning of FY 2025. The decrease is
partially offset by the agency's enhancement request of $90,646 and one additional FTE
position to hire a data analyst in the Elections Division for FY 2025. If approved, the agency
anticipates hiring a data analyst in early FY 2025 to analyze and produce current and historical
election data in formats that are easily accessible by the public.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:

position to not hire an Elections Data Analyst for FY 2025.
Sec. 27 — Office of the State Treasurer
The agency requests a revised estimate of $85.7 million, including $2.0 million SGF, in
expenditures and 39.8 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $47.7 million, or 125.3
percent, above the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. This increase is primarily
attributable to the Build Kansas Matching Grant Fund, offset by an estimated decrease in
expenditures necessary for the Sales Tax and Revenue (STAR) Bonds Food Sales Tax
Revenue Replacement Fund.
The Governor recommends revised expenditures of $84.0 million, including $2.0 million
SGF, in FY 2024. This is an all funds decrease of $1.7 million, or 2.0 percent, below the
agency's revised estimate. This decrease is due to the Governor's recommendation to reduce
the SGF transfer to the STAR Bonds Food Sales Tax Revenue Replacement Fund by $1.7
million, from $4.7 million to $3.0 million. These funds will not be required to hold cities and
counties harmless due to the Governor's recommendation to move up the elimination of the
state sales tax on food and food ingredients to April 1, 2024.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 14 - March 10, 2024 HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 28 — Office of the State Treasurer

39.8 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $6.1 million, or 7.1 percent, above the FY
2024 revised estimate. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in the Build Kansas
Matching Grant Fund ($5.0 million) and STAR Bonds Food Sales Tax Revenue Replacement
Fund ($3.0 million).
The Governor recommends revised expenditures of $145.4 million, all from special
revenue funds, for FY 2025. This is an increase of $53.6 million, or 58.4 percent, above the
agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. This increase is primarily attributable to the Governor
recommending the inclusion of $54.0 million for the Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund. This
is offset by decreasing the SGF transfer to the STAR Bonds Food Sales Tax Revenue
Replacement Fund by $400,000, from $7.7 million to $7.3 million.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $54.0 million, all from the Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund, and delete
the transfer for FY 2025.
2. Delete $3.0 million, all from the STAR Bonds Food Sales Tax Replacement Fund,
and reduce the transfer by $3.0 million for FY 2025.

childbirth instead of abortion to women facing unplanned pregnancies and to offer a full
range of services, including pregnancy support centers, adoption assistance, and

Sec. 29 — Kansas Insurance Department
The agency requests a revised estimate of $38.8 million, all from special revenue funds,
in expenditures and 135.25 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $605,761, or 1.5
percent, below the FY 2024 approved amount. The decrease is primarily attributable to a drop in
expenditures for professional services, specifically accountants and auditors who assist in
regulating insurance companies. The agency also notes that it was not able to pursue a change
to the Kansas Essential Health Benefits Package due to a proviso in 2023 Senate Bill 25 (2023
SB 25), resulting in the agency not needing federal grant monies in FY 2024. Furthermore, there
is a 0.25 FTE increase due to a 0.5 FTE position being reclassified as a 0.75 FTE position.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 15 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 30 — Kansas Insurance Department
The agency requests $39.5 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
135.25 FTE positions for FY 2025. The increase of $689,176, or 1.8 percent, above the FY 2024
revised estimate is the result of greater advertising costs, as well as an increase in aid to the
Firefighters Relief Fund. Each year, the Insurance Department collects 2.0 percent of the total
amount of annual premiums written in Kansas by insurers that write fire and lightning insurance.
The amount collected is then credited to the Firefighters Relief Fund and distributed to various
local units, including fire districts and county Firefighters Relief Associations. Thus, the agency
believes the amount it collects through insurance premiums will result in an additional $500,000,
for a total of $18.5 million, in aid to the Firefighters Relief Fund for FY 2025.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request for FY 2025.

Liability Adjudication program, from which the agency pays the claims that are awarded to
plaintiffs through court-approved settlements or jury awards.

HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.

expenditures and 5.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $36,170, or 4.3 percent,
above the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is primarily attributable to increased
employer costs for salary adjustments and fringe benefits and to fund a performance audit.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025

Kansas Legislative Research Department - 16 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 33 — Judicial Council
The agency requests $727,676 SGF in expenditures and 5.0 FTE positions for FY 2025.
This is an increase of $6,658, or 0.9 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase
is primarily attributable to contractual services, including equipment rental, dues, memberships,
and subscriptions. This is partially offset by a decrease in expenditures for state employer
retirement contributions. Expenditures related to publications typically fluctuate from year to
year due to the staggering of publication dates.
Pursuant to KSA 75-3721(f), the Governor is statutorily required to include the Judicial
Council's budget in 's Budget Report as submitted by the agency. The Governor's

0.7 percent, and an SGF increase of $176,999, or 0.3 percent, above the FY 2024 approved
amount. The increase is attributable to the agency's supplemental request for the 2023
Legislative Pay Plan shortage, and increases in the following programs: trial public defenders
($4.4 million), assigned counsel ($1.6 million), capital defense ($1.3 million), and the appellate
defender program ($295,103). The increase is partially offset by an overall decrease in
expenditures for salaries and wages in FY 2024.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $63.8 million, including $63.0 million SGF,
and 289.2 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $3.0 million SGF, or 4.9 percent,
above the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is entirely attributable to increased
assigned counsel caseload expenditures in accordance with the fall 2023 consensus caseload
estimates for FY 2024.

and 289.2 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $10.9 million SGF, or 15.3 percent,
and 25.0 FTE positions below the agency's FY 2025 request. The decrease is due to the
Governor not recommending the agency's enhancement requests for recruitment and retention
($6.7 million), next step compensation for selective salary increases and bonuses ($1.2 million),
ethical caseload and staffing ($2.7 million), basic infrastructure ($475,862), and assigned
counsel hourly rate increase ($3.8 million). The recommendation includes the agency's
enhancement request for Legal Services for Prisoners salary adjustments ($112,790), as well as
$3.0 million SGF for assigned counsel expenditures in accordance with the fall 2023 consensus
caseload estimates.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the

Sec. 37 — Judicial Branch
The agency requests a revised estimate of $196.1 million, including $183.9 million SGF,
in expenditures and 2,010.5 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $973,046,
or 0.5 percent, and an SGF increase of $1.0 million, or 0.6 percent, and 8.5 non-FTE positions
above the FY 2024 approved amount. The expenditure increase is primarily attributable to the
agency's supplemental request to account for a shortfall in appropriations for the Legislative Pay
Plan in 2023 SB 25 ($1.0 million SGF). The increase is partially offset by an overall decrease in
expenditures for salaries and wages ($1.4 million). The increase in FTE positions are grant-
funded positions.
The agency’s request includes capital improvements expenditures of $50,000 SGF for
the Judicial Branch Learning Center, and $300,000 SGF for the remodeling of the Court of
Appeals office space and lounge in FY 2024.
Pursuant to KSA 75-3721(f), the Governor is statutorily required to include the Judicial
Branch's budget in 's Budget Report as submitted by the agency. The Governor's
recommendation includes $196.1 million in expenditures, including $183.9 million SGF, and
2,010.5 FTE positions for the Judicial Branch in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:

2. Add $1.0 million SGF to provide one year of credit monitoring services to individuals
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 18 - March 10, 2024 impacted by a security incident in FY 2024. Any unspent funds would lapse back to the
SGF.
Sec. 38 — Judicial Branch
The agency requests $222.5 million, including $211.4 million SGF, in expenditures and
2,050.5 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $26.3 million, or 13.4
percent, including $27.5 million SGF, or 14.9 percent, and 40.0 FTE positions above the
agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
The request includes seven enhancements totaling $14.4 million, including $12.3 million
SGF. These requests include funding for cybersecurity, grant increases, security hardware,

6. Add $200,000 SGF for Kansas Legal Services to conduct expungement fairs for FY
2025.
Sec. 39 — Kansas Public Employees Retirement System
The agency requests $82.6 million and 99.4 FTE positions for FY 2025, including $81.6
million from the KPERS Trust Fund. This represents an increase of $8.7 million, or 11.8 percent,
above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The majority of the increase is attributable to a $3.9 million
increase in expenditures from the KPERS Trust Fund for external investment management and
consultant fees. This includes management fees for real estate, publicly traded securities,
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 19 - March 10, 2024 custodial bank services, and investment consulting. Investment-related expenses are
determined by forecasting the current market value of the portfolio on June 30, 2023, by an
actuarial rate of return assumption. Management fee estimates are regularly updated to reflect
investment experience and performance. The request increases management fee estimates
from $42.1 million in FY 2024 to $46.0 million for FY 2025.
The request also includes a $3.0 million increase for the continued modernization of the
Pension Administration System. The agency anticipates beginning system modernization in FY
2024 and scaling up operations for FY 2025.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request and recommends $82.6 million and
99.4 FTE positions for FY 2025, including $81.6 million from the KPERS Trust Fund.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 40 — Kansas Human Rights Commission
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1.5 million, including $1.1 million SGF, in
expenditures and 20.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $55,975, or 3.5 percent,
below the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. This decrease is primarily attributable to
an SGF lapse of $35,000 to postpone software conversions for two Access databases to a more
modern software.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 41 — Kansas Human Rights Commission
The agency requests $1.7 million, including $1.2 million SGF, in expenditures and 20.0
FTE positions for FY 2025.This is an increase of $140,980, or 9.2 percent, above the FY 2024
revised estimate. This increase is primarily attributable to two enhancement requests to
increase contract costs for mediators.
The Governor recommends a total of $1.7 million, including $1.2 million SGF, for FY
2025. This is a decrease of $20,000, or 1.2 percent, below the agency's request for FY 2025
due to the Governor not recommending one of the agency's enhancement requests to increase
the mediation contract because of inflation.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 42 — Kansas Corporation Commission
The agency requests $100.8 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
204.5 FTE positions for FY 2025.This is an increase of $36.0 million, or 55.6 percent, above the
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 20 - March 10, 2024 FY 2024 revised estimate. The largest increase above the FY 2024 revised estimate is in the
new federal funding made available through the IRA and the IIJA. Funding for these initiatives
total $44.9 million in FY 2025, which is $34.4 million more than in FY 2024.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 request.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 43 — Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board
The agency requests $1.3 million, all from the Utility Regulatory Fee Fund, in
expenditures and 9.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $70,635, or 5.2 percent,
below the agency’s FY 2024 revised estimate.
The agency is authorized by language in the appropriations bill to carry over unspent
consultant services funds between fiscal years. This authorization increases the agency's
estimated expenditures for consultant services in FY 2024. For FY 2025, there are no carryover
funds budgeted, which creates a decrease in consultant service expenditures. This decrease is
partially offset by increases in other contractual service expenditures, such as building space
rental.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 request.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 44 — Department of Administration
The agency submits a revised estimate of $186.9 million in on-budget expenditures and
106.2 on-budget FTE positions in FY 2024, including $134.5 million SGF and $36.1 million from
the Expanded Lottery Act Revenues Fund (ELARF). This represents a decrease of $29.1 million
below the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The decrease is primarily due to revising the payment schedule for the renovation of
the Docking State Office Building such that the majority of the $40.0 million in federal
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State Relief Fund expenditures originally planned for FY
2024 was distributed in FY 2023 instead. While this results in a $36.9 million decrease from the
amount approved by the 2023 Legislature, total project costs have not changed and the agency
still anticipates project completion around May 2025.
The decrease is offset by an additional $6.3 million in planned expenditures from the
ARPA State Relief Fund for three capital improvement projects. These projects were all
recommended by the Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas (SPARK) Executive
Committee and approved by the State Finance Council. These projects include replacing
outdated air handling equipment in the Capitol Complex ($1.5 million), enhancing physical
security in the Capitol Complex ($1.6 million), and deferred maintenance for the State
Printing Plant ($3.3 million).
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 21 - March 10, 2024 The revised estimate also includes a request to increase the SGF expenditure limitation
on official hospitality for the Office of the Secretary of Administration (from $2,000 to $6,000)
and the Office of Public Advocates (from $1,000 to $3,000). The agency does not request
additional funding for this purpose, and planned expenditures are equal to the amount approved
by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor recommends $644.3 million in on-budget expenditures and 106.2 on-
budget FTE positions in FY 2024, including $591.9 million SGF and $36.1 million from ELARF.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate but recommends three additions,
totaling $457.4 million SGF, detailed below.
First, the Governor recommends $7.0 million SGF to create a centralized electronic
credentials verification system pursuant to 2023 SB 66, which enacted the Interstate Teacher
Mobility Compact (Compact). The Compact requires state licensing bodies to provide paper-
based and verified electronic credentials to all credential holders. To facilitate this, the Compact
also requires the Secretary of Administration to develop and implement a license verification
portal for the purpose of verifying or reporting license statuses.
Second, the Governor recommends $400,000 SGF to expand the Office of Printing,
Surplus and Central Mail's operations to scan mail for anomalies prior to delivery. This
recommendation includes $150,000 to purchase mail scanning equipment and $250,000 to
create a dedicated structure for this purpose. The Governor indicates this is in response to the
white powder event in June 2023, where letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent
to state legislators and public officials.
Lastly, the Governor recommends $450.0 million SGF to address revenue bonds
originally issued to improve the funded status of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement
System (KPERS). This item was originally recommended for FY 2025, but GBA No. 1, Item 4
shifted it to FY 2024 instead.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2024
1. Do not adopt GBA No. 1, Item 4, and delete $450.0 million SGF in FY 2024 to not
retire additional debt across Series 2015H and 2021K in FY 2024. These bonds were
issued to improve the funded status of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement
System.
2. Add $500,000 SGF to provide additional security for Jewish centers of faith in FY
2024. Potential uses of this funding include, but are not limited to, expanding license
plate reader cameras, installing bullet-resistant film on windows, and setting up
limestone blocks for anti-vehicle perimeter control.
3. Add language authorizing the Governor's Residence Advisory Commission to expend
funds from existing resources to explore the possibility of renovating Cedar Crest in FY
2024. Additionally, add language increasing membership of the Commission to include
the First Vice President of the Friends of Cedar Crest Association.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 22 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 45 — Department of Administration
The agency requests $177.1 million in on-budget expenditures and 111.2 on-budget
FTE positions for FY 2025, including $127.5 million SGF and $36.1 million from ELARF. This
represents a reduction of $9.9 million below the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024. The
decrease is primarily due to the agency expending all remaining funds for the renovation of the
Docking State Office Building in FY 2024. These expenditures do not continue into FY 2025 and
beyond, which results in a reduction of $8.2 million, including $5.1 million SGF.
The request also includes $639,860 and 5.0 FTE positions to add five new Policy
Analyst positions within the Division of the Budget, which exists as an independently
administered entity within the Department of Administration. These new positions would partner
with the eleven existing Budget Analyst positions on policy research and development. This
request includes base pay ($433,149), employer contributions for fringe benefits ($157,386),
and the purchase of computers, equipment, and office furniture ($49,325).
The revised estimate also includes a request to increase the SGF expenditure limitation
on official hospitality for the Office of the Secretary of Administration (from $2,000 to $6,000)
and the Office of Public Advocates (from $1,000 to $3,000). The agency does not request
additional funding for this purpose, and planned expenditures are equal to the amount approved
by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor recommends $181.7 million in on-budget expenditures and 111.2 on-
budget FTE positions for FY 2025, including $127.5 million SGF and $34.6 million from ELARF.
The Governor concurs with the agency request but recommends three additions, totaling $4.7
million, detailed below.
First, the Governor recommends $3.2 million, including $4.2 million SGF and a reduction
of $1.1 million from the ARPA State Relief Fund, to pay off the remaining principal balance of
the Master Lease Purchase Agreement. In FY 2022, the agency spent $5.9 million to replace
outdated printing equipment used to provide printing, copying, and binding services for state
agencies. The agreement requires annual debt service payments of $1.1 million through FY
2028. The recommendation would pay off the remaining balance in FY 2025.
Second, the Governor recommends $1.5 million SGF to maintain the centralized
electronic credential verification system created pursuant to 2023 SB 66.
Lastly, the Governor recommends $1.5 million SGF to replace $1.5 million from
ELARF in debt service principal payments for Series 2004C KPERS pension obligation
bonds. This swap would be a one-time event and does not change the $21.2 million in debt
service principal payments for FY 2025. Payments for this bonds are typically made from
ELARF, but the Governor notes the fund has an insufficient ending balance for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $639,860 SGF and 5.0 FTE positions to not adopt the agency request to add
five new Policy Analyst positions within the Division of the Budget for FY 2025.
2. Add language authorizing the receipt of gifts, grants, bequests, and donations to the
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 23 - March 10, 2024 Friends of Cedar Crest Endowment Fund and allow for use of endowment funds for FY
2025. The agency would be required to authorize these funds before use and to submit
a report on its findings to the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate
Committee on Ways and Means on, or before, January 13, 2025.
3. Add language authorizing the Governor's Residence Advisory Commission to expend
funds from existing resources to explore the possibility of renovating Cedar Crest for FY
2025. Additionally, add language increasing membership of the Commission to include
the First Vice President of the Friends of Cedar Crest Association.
Sec. 46 — Office of Information and Technology Services
The agency requests $18.3 million, including $12.5 million SGF, for on-budget
expenditures in FY 2025. The request is an all funds increase of $2,809, or less than 1.0
percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate for FY 2025. Included in this amount is $5.7 million
in ARPA funds. Also included is $60,000 in expenditures from the GIS Contracting Services
Fund, which is the same as the FY 2024 approved amount, to support state geographic
information systems for the user community in Kansas.
The agency’s revised estimate also includes $60.9 million in off-budget expenditures, all
from special revenue funds, which is a decrease of $3.4 million, or 5.3 percent, below the FY
2024 revised estimate. Off-budget expenditures are categorized as such to avoid double
counting payments from one state agency to another. The decease can be primarily attributed to
reduced need for software, services, and equipment purchased on behalf of other state
agencies ($2.0 million); the elimination of a one-time expenditure for remodeling and furnishing
of office space in the Capitol Complex ($1.0 million); the absence of one-time costs associated
with a change in vendor for the Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS) solution ($585,000); and a
reduced ongoing costs associated with this change ($205,000).
The revised estimate also includes 126.0 FTE positions for FY 2025, which is the same
as the FY 2024 revised estimate. Of the 126.00 FTE positions, 15.0 are classified as on-budget.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $19.8 million, including $14.0 million SGF,
for on-budget expenditures for FY 2025. The recommendation is an SGF increase of $1.5
million, or 8.2 percent, above the agency's FY 2025 on-budget request. The increase is
attributable to the Governor recommending establishment of a 24/7 cybersecurity operations
center. The recommendation includes 140.0 FTE positions for FY 2024, which is an increase of
14.0 on-budget FTE positions above the agency's FY 2025 request.
The Governor’s recommendation also includes $60.9 million in off-budget special
revenue expenditures, which is the same as the agency’s FY 2025 off-budget request.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 48 — Board of Tax Appeals
The agency requests a revised estimate of $2.7 million, including $1.1 million SGF, in
expenditures and 16.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $458,753, or
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 24 - March 10, 2024 20.6 percent, above the agency's FY 2024 approved amount. This increase is primarily
attributable to the BOTA IT Modernization Initiative, which was approved by the 2023
Legislature. Due to the availability of federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, these
expenditures are reflected in the agency's budget submission in FY 2024. The modernization
initiative includes replacing document-management and court recording systems, as well as
upgrading a hearing room.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate; however, the
Governor recommends adding $250,000 SGF and reducing the COTA Filing Fee Fund by the
same amount in FY 2024 to allow expenditures from the Fee Fund to be supported by the
revenue.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2024
1. Delete $250,000 SGF and add $250,000, all from the Filing Fee Fund, in FY 2024.
Sec. 49 — Board of Tax Appeals
The agency requests $2.2 million, including $1.0 million SGF, in expenditures and 16.0
FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $454,612, or 16.9 percent, below the
FY 2024 revised estimate. This decrease is primarily attributable to completion of the BOTA IT
Modernization Initiative in FY 2024.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 request; however, the Governor
recommends adding $250,000 SGF and reducing the COTA Filing Fee Fund by the same
amount in FY 2025 to allow expenditures from the Fee Fund to be supported by the revenue.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025

in expenditures and 1,049.2 FTE positions in FY 2024. The revised estimate is an all funds
decrease of $3.2 million, or 2.5 percent, below the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature.
This decrease is primarily attributable to the agency utilizing some of the funds available for the
replacement of license plates for FY 2025, due to the project being on a calendar year.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:

Sec. 51 — Kansas Department of Revenue
The agency requests $122.0 million, including $16.8 million SGF, in expenditures and
1,049.2 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $1.7 million, or 1.3 percent,
below the FY 2024 revised estimate. This decrease is primarily attributable to the conclusion of
Taxpayer Notification Costs expenditures.
The Governor recommends $123.2 million, including $16.8 million SGF, in expenditures
and 1,049.2 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $1.2 million, or 1.0
percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request. This increase is primarily attributable to a
recommendation to continue providing counties with printing and postage costs through the
Taxpayer Notification Costs Fund.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Delete 10.0 FTE positions for FY 2025.
Sec. 52 — Kansas Lottery
The agency submits a revised estimate of $466.6 million, all from special revenue funds,
in expenditures and 95.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $9.1 million, or 1.9
percent, below the FY 2024 approved amount. The decrease is attributable to a reduction in
expanded gaming estimates, largely from the South Central and South East gaming zones. The
revised estimate includes $200,000, all from the Lottery Operating Fund, for increased
contractual expenditures related to production and placement costs for lottery advertising.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $466.2 million, all from special revenue
funds, and 95.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $402,352, or 0.1 percent, below
the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The Governor's recommendation deletes $402,352, or
5.0 percent, of salaries and wages to reduce the funding for vacant positions to more accurately
reflect the agency's actual expenditures.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 53 — Kansas Lottery
The agency requests $479.4 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
95.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $12.8 million, or 2.7 percent, above the
FY 2024 revised amount. The request does not include any major adjustments to the FY 2024
revised estimate; however, there are increase in various categories of expenditure. These
increases include salaries and wages ($82,8647), contractual services ($11.8 million), capital
outlay ($108,910), and aid to locals ($9,000).
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 26 - March 10, 2024 The Governor recommends expenditures of $478.5 million, all from special revenue
funds, and 95.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $887,768, or 0.2 percent,
below the agency's FY 2025 revised estimate. The decrease is due to the Governor deleting
$443,884 for an agency-planned 5.0 percent salary adjustment and deleting $443,884 to reduce
funding for vacant positions for FY 2025.

one-time projects or available funds. This is offset by two enhancement requests: Kansas
Creative Arts Industries Commission ($500,000) and a Film Tax Credit support position
($100,000 and 1.0 FTE position).
The Governor recommends FY 2025 expenditures of $208.4 million, including $45.6
million SGF, and 320.0 FTE positions. This is an increase of $45.4 million, or 27.9 percent,
above the agency's FY 2025 revised estimate. The increase is primarily attributable to funding
the following programs for FY 2025: World Cup ($20.0 million), Moderate Income Housing
($10.0 million), Apprenticeship and Business Partnership ($8.0 million), Swope Health Project
($4.5 million), Housing and Workforce Development Program ($2.0 million), micro-internships
($500,000), and youth career exploration ($500,000).
The Governor recommends 320.0 FTE positions, which is an increase of 2.0 FTE
positions above the agency’s FY 2025 request. The increase is attributable to the addition of 3.0
FTE positions for Business Development and the deletion of 1.0 FTE position for the Film Tax
Credit support position.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $8.0 million SGF and 3.0 FTE positions for the Apprenticeship & Business
Partnership for FY 2025.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 28 - March 10, 2024 2. Delete $20.0 million SGF and add $10.0 million, all from federal ARPA funds, for the
2026 World Cup games for FY 2025. Add language requiring the FIFA World Cup
Kansas City committee to provide an accounting report of all expenditures with an
economic and fiscal impact report.
3. Add $500,000 SGF in one time funding and add language for a pilot program to
recruit new home-based childcare providers for FY 2025.

support for hosting the U.S. Adaptive Open Golf Championship for FY 2025.
5. Add $16.9 million, all from special revenue funds, for housing and retail development
in NW Kansas for FY 2025.
6. Add $4.0 million, all from federal ARPA funds, to provide small municipalities
currently being served by a natural gas gathering field to design, construct, and install
natural gas distribution lines that connect to a natural gas service provider for FY 2025.
Add language directing the Department of Commerce to establish an application
program that includes the completion of a natural gas cost of service and revenue rate
requirement study and additional program requirements.
Sec. 58 — Kansas Department of Commerce
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2026
1. Add $18.0 million, all from federal ARPA funds, for the 2026 World Cup games for FY
2026. Add language directing the Director of the Budget to transfer any available non-
SGF moneys to the World Cup ARPA fund and lapse any unused federal ARPA funding.
Further, add language requiring the FIFA World Cup Kansas City committee to provide
an accounting report of all expenditures with an economic and fiscal impact report.
Sec. 59 — Kansas Housing Resources Corporation
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2024
1. Add language allowing not-for-profit organizations focused on housing development
to receive funds for such development in FY 2024. Add language requiring the interest
rate for a loan to any not-for-profit organizations focused on housing development to be
equal to the average interest rate of certificates of deposit in Kansas financial
institutions in June 2024, as determined by the State Treasurer.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 29 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 60 — Kansas Housing Resources Corporation
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add language allowing not-for-profit organizations focused on housing development
to receive funds for such development for FY 2025. Add language requiring the interest
rate for a loan to any not-for-profit organizations focused on housing development to be
equal to the average interest rate of certificates of deposit in Kansas financial
institutions in June 2024, as determined by the State Treasurer.
2. Transfer $20.0 million from the Rural Housing Revolving Loan program for FY 2025.
Sec. 61 — Kansas Department of Labor
The agency submits a revised estimate of $186.5 million in on-budget expenditures and
439.5 on-budget FTE positions in FY 2024, including $14.8 million SGF, $124.7 million from the
UI Trust Fund, and $25.4 million from federal funds. The revised estimate represents a
decrease of $4.6 million, or 2.4 percent, below the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The majority of the change is due to a decrease of $12.9 million, all from the UI Trust Fund, for
unemployment insurance benefits in FY 2024. This reflects updated projections for benefit
payments, which decrease from $133.6 million to $122.7 million.
The decrease is partially offset by an increase of $7.2 million, all from the Employment
Security Administration Federal Fund, for the administration of the Unemployment Insurance
Services program in FY 2024. These funds are grants from the U.S. Department of Labor
distributed pursuant to the Social Security Act and authorized by KSA 44-716. Subsequent to
the 2023 Session, the agency updated estimates on operating grant transfers into the fund from
$18.7 million to $33.0 million in FY 2024. Corresponding expenditures from the fund increase
from $16.2 million to $23.3 million.
The revised estimate includes a $55,075 SGF in supplemental funding to account for a
shortfall in appropriations for the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB 25. The 2023 Legislature
appropriated $120.0 million, including $46.0 million SGF, across all state agencies to provide
salary adjustments for FY 2024 based on the Department of Administration Market Survey. This
total amount was short by approximately $11.8 million, including $11.4 million SGF, statewide in
FY 2024. To account for this, the State Finance Council prorated agency distribution of the
available appropriations by approximately 20.0 percent. For the Kansas Department of Labor, a
supplemental appropriation of $55,075 SGF in FY 2024 is required to achieve the intended
effect of the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB 25.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate and recommends $186.5
million in on-budget expenditures and 439.5 on-budget FTE positions in FY 2024, including
$14.8 million SGF, $124.7 million from the UI Trust Fund, and $25.4 million from federal funds.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 30 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 62 — Kansas Department of Labor
The agency requests $197.2 million in on-budget expenditures and 437.5 on-budget
FTE positions for FY 2025, including $10.1 million SGF, $142.1 million from the UI Trust Fund,
and $21.9 million from federal funds. This represents an increase of $10.7 million, or 5.8
percent, above the revised estimate in FY 2024. The request includes $5.0 million SGF in
enhancement funding for ongoing costs associated with the unemployment insurance system.
This request includes expenditures for maintenance of the core system as well as required
peripheral systems. Additionally, this funding would also provide for continued hourly contract
support after the go-live date. The agency indicates it has applied for all federal funding
available. The agency has received several one-time funding awards, but they were all planned
for expenditures related to the main project and not for ongoing maintenance.
The request also includes $3,000 SGF in enhancement funding to increase the official
hospitality budget from $2,000 to $5,000 for FY 2025. These funds support events conducted by
the Secretary of Labor. The agency indicates these additional funds would allow the Secretary
to engage with staff and outside entities, as well as provide refreshments for such events.
Absent the enhancement requests, the request includes an increase of $17.4 million, all
from the UI Trust Fund, for unemployment insurance benefits. The agency projects a continued
increase in benefit payments, which increases from $122.7 million in FY 2024 to $140.1 million
for FY 2025.
The increases are partially offset by a decrease of $3.5 million, all from the Employment
Security Administration Federal Fund, for the administration of the Unemployment Insurance
Services program for FY 2025. The agency projects a decrease in operating grant transfers into
the fund, from $33.0 million in FY 2024 to $23.5 million for FY 2025. Corresponding
expenditures from the fund decrease from $23.3 million in FY 2024 to $19.8 million for FY 2025.
The Governor recommends $197.2 million in on-budget expenditures and 437.5 on-
budget FTE positions for FY 2025, including $10.1 million SGF, $142.1 million from the UI Trust
Fund, and $21.9 million from federal funds. This represents a decrease of $3,000 below the
agency's request in FY 2024 and is entirely due to recommending partial adoption of the
enhancement request to increase the official hospitality budget. The Governor concurs with
increasing the expenditure limitation but recommends the agency fund it from existing resources
instead.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 63 — Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs Office
The agency requests a revised estimate of $54.6 million, including $15.5 million SGF, in
expenditures and 376.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This increase of $2.0 million, or 3.8 percent,
above the FY 2024 approved amount is primarily due to a variety of supplemental requests and
other adjustments by the agency. Moreover, the agency's reappropriation of $1.7 million in
unspent SIBF moneys from FY 2023 into FY 2024 also contributes to the revised estimate.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 31 - March 10, 2024 HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 64 — Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs Office
The agency requests $36.9 million, including $14.8 million SGF, in expenditures and
376.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This all funds decrease of $17.6 million, or 32.3 percent,
including an SGF decrease of $631,397, or 4.1 percent, below the FY 2023 revised estimate is
due to the agency not requesting monies for the construction of the new Northeast Kansas
Veterans' Home for FY 2025. However, the decrease is partially offset by several enhancement
requests for FY 2025.
The Governor recommends a budget of $37.4 million, including $14.7 million SGF, in
expenditures and 376.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $428,250, or
1.2 percent, above the FY 2025 agency request, and an SGF decrease of $208,000, or 0.8
percent, below the FY 2025 agency request. The Governor concurs in full or in part with the
agency's enhancement requests, and recommends an additional $636,250 in state funds for
two additional enhancements.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 65 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Public Health
The agency submits a Division of Public Health revised estimate of $268.9 million,
including $50.2 million SGF, in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $52.7 million, or 24.4
percent, including an SGF increase of $5.9 million, or 13.2 percent, above the amount approved
by the 2023 Legislature. The all funds increase is largely due to an increase in transactions
associated with the transfer of the budget for the KDHE laboratory from the Division of
Environment to the Division of Public Health. In addition to operating expenses, the transfer of
the laboratory increased the amount of COVID-19 transaction funding in the division of public
health. While the funding for COVID-19 transactions was an increase over the agency's
approved amount, it is a decrease of $17.3 million below the FY 2023 actual amount. Also
contributing to the all funds increase are federal funds for the Rural Hospital Innovation grants
and Early Childhood Data Integration. These are federal funds provided through the ARPA that
were approved by the state Finance Council in December 2022 and were not included in the
agency's approved amount. The agency's revised FY 2024 request includes 606.5 FTE
positions, which is a decrease of 15.3 positions below the number approved by the 2023
legislature.
The Governor recommends FY 2024 Division of Public Health expenditures totaling
$277.4 million, including $58.7 million SGF. This is an increase of $8.6 million SGF, or 3.2
percent, above the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is due to the Governor
funding $6.2 million of the agency's enhancement request for laboratory moving and furnishing
expenditures in FY 2024, and the Governor's recommendation to fund Part C data management
program.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 32 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 66 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Public Health
The agency submits a Division of Public Health revised estimate of $234.4 million,
including $63.9 million SGF, in FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $34.5 million, or 12.8
percent, including an SGF increase of $13.7 million, or 27.4 percent, from the amount approved
by the 2023 Legislature. The all funds increase is largely due to a decrease in transactions
associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, a decrease in federal funds for grants, and an
anticipated decrease in operating expenditures. The SGF increase is due to the agency's 11
enhancement requests in the Division of Public Health, which total $20.3 million. The SGF
increase was offset by the end of SGF funding for the Childcare Pilot Program, and funds that
were reappropriated to FY 2024 and not budgeted for in FY 2025. The revised estimate for the
Division of Public Health includes 606.49 FTE positions, which is the same as the number
approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor recommends FY 2025 Division of Public Health expenditures totaling
$224.5 million, including $54.2 million SGF. This is a decrease of $9.9 million, including $9.7
SGF, below the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The decrease is due to the Governor not
recommending several of the agency's enhancement requests.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $843,493 SGF to increase funding to local health departments using the
statutory distribution formula contained in KSA 65-242 for FY 2025.
2. Add $550,000 SGF to fund Project Access, Health Access, and Wy Jo Care for FY
2025.
3. Add $2.0 million SGF as one time funding to reimburse hospitals that are operating
as Rural Emergency Hospitals without the designation as such, for FY 2025.
4. Add $2.0 million from the Children's Initiatives Fund to increase the availability of
early intervention services provided through the Infant and Toddler Program (Tiny-K) for
FY 2025.
5. Add $2.5 million SGF for community testing for FY 2025.
Sec. 67 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Health Care
Finance
The agency submits a Health Care Finance revised estimate of $3.6 billion, including
$829.3 million SGF, in FY 2024. This is an all funds decrease of $37.1 million, or 1.0 percent,
including an SGF increase of $17,460 , or less than 0.1 percent, from the amount approved by
the 2023 Legislature. The SGF increase is due to the agency's supplemental requests totaling
$393,508, offset by other adjustments that are primarily made up of decreased expenditures for
contractual services for the Medicaid program. The all funds decrease is largely due to
decreased spending on contractual services in the Medicaid program. These decreases were
largely associated with the agency's contract with Gainwell Technologies, which provides
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 33 - March 10, 2024 services related to the Medicaid Management Information System, and Optumas, which
provides actuarial services. The Health Care Finance revised request for FY 2024 includes
626.0 FTE positions. This is a decrease of 18.0 FTE positions below the approved number.
These positions were unfilled positions deleted by the agency to more accurately reflect its FTE
count.
The Governor recommends FY 2024 Division of Health Care Finance expenditures
totaling $3.6 billion, including $782.5 million SGF. This is a decrease of $35.7 million from all
funds, including a decrease of $46.8 million SGF, below the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate,
largely due to a lapse of SGF for the Kansas Modular Medicaid System (KMMS) and
adjustments to the human services caseloads.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 68 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Health Care
Finance
The agency requests Health Care Finance expenditures of $3.6 billion, including $765.8
million SGF, for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $6.5 million, or 0.2 percent, including
an SGF decrease of $63.6 million, or 7.7 percent, below the FY 2024 revised estimate. The
decrease in SGF expenditures for FY 2024 is largely due to funds that were reappropriated from
FY 2023 into FY 2024 that are not budgeted to reoccur in FY 2025. This was offset by the
agency's two enhancement requests for FY 2025, totaling $2.3 million SGF. The all funds
decrease is largely due to funds that were reappropriated from FY 2023 to FY 2024 that are not
budgeted to reoccur in FY 2025. This was partially offset by increased contractual fees for
Gainwell, the agency's fiscal agent, due to changes connected to the Transformed Medicaid
Statistical Information System (T-MSIS), a federal database for Medicaid and CHIP information,
and increased federal funds drawn down for the CHIP as the program is expected to grow in
membership in FY 2025. The agency's request for the Division of Health Care Finance for FY
2025 includes 643.0 FTE positions, which is an increase of 17.0 FTE positions above the FY
2024 revised estimate. he agency's enhancement request for 17.0 additional FTE positions in
the Medicaid Operations and Eligibility programs.
The Governor recommends FY 2025 Division of Health Care Finance expenditures
totaling $4.4 billion, including $715.2 million SGF. This is an increase of $768.1 million from all
funds, including a decrease of $50.5 million SGF, from the agency's FY 2024 revised request.
The all fund increase and SGF decrease is largely due to the addition of funding to expand
Medicaid Eligibility, offset by adjustments to the fall 2023 human services caseload estimates.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $1.9 million, including $738,000 SGF, to eliminate the 5.0 percent rate difference
that hospice providers receive for patients in facilities with Medicaid as a second payer,
and add language requiring KDHE to work with hospice stakeholders and submit to
CMS any required state plan amendments needed to implement new payment and
systems for hospice providers for FY 2025.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 34 - March 10, 2024 2. Add $1.8 million, including $700,000 SGF, to increase the Medicaid rate for Family
Service Coordination (T1017) and Family Training and Counseling (T1027) to $18.75
per unit for FY 2025.
3. Add $3.8 million, including $1.5 million SGF to increase the Medicaid reimbursement
rate for Applied Behavioral Analysis to $65.00 per hour for FY 2025.
4. Add $33.9 million, including $13.6 million SGF, to increase those physician provider
codes that are currently below 79.5 percent of the Medicare rate or have no equivalent
Medicare rate, by 15.0 percent for FY 2025.
5. Add $45.2 million, including $17.9 million SGF, to raise all Medicaid outpatient
hospital provider codes by 30.0 percent for FY 2025.
6. Delete $715.0 million, including the addition of $61.8 million SGF, to remove funding
for Medicaid Expansion for FY 2025. The all funds deletion includes $735.6 million from
federal funds and $41.1 million from special revenue funds.
7. Add language requiring KDHE to study the required billing codes and costs of
providing remote non-stress tests and ultrasounds to pregnant women through the
Medicaid program for FY 2025.
8. Add $2.5 million, including $1.0 million SGF to increase the Medicaid rates for
OBGYN codes by 15.0 percent for FY 2025.
Sec. 69 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Environment
The agency estimates revised FY 2024 expenditures of $78.0 million, including $2.4
million SGF. This is an all funds decrease of $71.1 million, or 47.7 percent, below the FY 2024
approved amount. The revised estimate also includes 398.2 FTE positions, which is a decrease
of 89.8 FTE positions below the approved number.
The Division of Environment's FY 2024 revised estimate includes one supplemental
request totaling $20,361 SGF, to account for a shortfall in appropriations for the Legislative Pay
Plan in 2023 SB 25. The revised estimate also includes a reduction of $83.0 million all funds,
including $2.2 million SGF and a reduction of 107.0 FTE positions for the Health and
Environment Laboratories. As a part of an agency-wide reorganization effort, the agency lab
program will be reflected in the budget for the Division of Public Health. This reorganization
effort includes all lab expenditures, including $30.9 million federal ARPA moneys for the building
of a new lab facility. The decrease is partially offset by increases across all other Division
programs, all from special revenue funds, and is mostly attributable for salaries and wages to
hire additional staff. Absent FTE reductions due to lab program reorganization, the Division of
Environment is requesting to add 17.2 FTE positions across all other Division of Environment
programs.
The Division of Environment's FY 2024 revised estimate also includes $5.0 million
federal ARPA moneys for the small town infrastructure program that provides grants to support
technical assistance and drinking water and sewer system upgrades for towns with less than
1,000 population.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 35 - March 10, 2024 The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate for the Division of
Environment and further recommends transfers from the Kansas Water Office to the Division
totaling $5.8 million, all from the State Water Plan Fund (SWPF), for water quality initiatives.
These transfers include $1.5 million for contamination remediation, $1.0 million for total ad
initiatives, $50,000 for surface water trash removal, and $3.2 million for small town infrastructure
support.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2024
1. Add language directing the agency to use $50,000 SWPF to contract with the City of
Topeka for the cleanup of trash along the banks of the Kansas River and Shunganunga
Creek within the city limits of Topeka, KS in FY 2024.
2. Add language prohibiting the agency from using satellite imagery to identify confined
animal feeding facilities in FY 2024.
Sec. 70 — Kansas Department of Health and Environment – Division of Environment
The agency requests FY 2025 expenditures of $89.4 million, including $12.5 million
SGF. This is an all funds increase of $11.5 million, or 14.7 percent, above the FY 2024 revised
estimate. The revised estimate also includes 398.2 FTE positions for the Division of
Environment, which is equal to the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
The Division of Environment's FY 2025 request includes two enhancement requests.
The agency requests $210,000 SGF for livestock waste management and $10.0 million SGF for
the small town infrastructure program for FY 2025.
The agency indicates the funding for livestock waste management would allow the
agency to hire additional contract engineers and add additional contract clerical services.
Contract engineers would be used to review proposed plans for confined animal feeding
operations. Contracted clerical services would be used to assist the agency in converting paper
documentation to electronic formats. The small town infrastructure program provides grants to
support technical assistance and drinking water and sewer system upgrades for towns with less
than 1,000 population. The agency's FY 2025 request also includes $5.0 million federal ARPA
moneys for the small town infrastructure program, which is equal to the FY 2024 revised
estimate.
The Division of Environment's FY 2025 request also includes transfers to the Division
from the Kansas Water Office totaling $3.7 million SWPF. Of this amount, $500,000 would be for
contamination remediation, $400,000 for local environmental program costs, $50,000 for stream
trash removal, $1.0 million for drinking water protection, $500,000 for aquifer recharge basins,
$1.1 million for total maximum daily load initiatives, and $200,000 for watershed restoration and
protection.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 revised estimate for the Division of
Environment.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 36 - March 10, 2024 HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add language directing the agency to use $50,000 SWPF to contract with the City of
Topeka for the cleanup of trash along the banks of the Kansas River and Shunganunga
Creek within the city limits of Topeka, KS for FY 2025.
2. Add language prohibiting the agency from using satellite imagery to identify confined
animal feeding facilities for FY 2025.
Sec. 71 — Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services
The agency requests a revised estimate of $3.3 billion, including $1.4 billion SGF, in
expenditures and 380.6 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $111.7 million, or 3.5
percent, including an SGF decrease of $23.0 million, or 1.6 percent, compared with the amount
approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The all funds increase is primarily due to the award of $66.0 million to the agency by the
Strengthening People and Restoring Kansas (SPARK) Taskforce to administer the Health
Facilities and Program Expansion grant program, $15.5 million in State Institutions Building
Fund (SIBF) reappropriations, and $34.6 million in federal grants received by KDADS above the
amount included in the budget approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The SGF decrease is primarily due to a transfer of $12.3 million SGF to the state
hospitals to provide hourly differential pay pursuant to the 24/7 Pay Plan and the agency's
enhancement request to lapse $7.5 million of the SGF reappropriation for KanCare caseloads.
The KanCare caseloads funds are revised every spring and fall by the consensus caseloads
estimating group, consisting of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Kansas
Department for Aging and Disability Services, the Department for Children and Families, the
Division of Budget, and the Kansas Legislative Research Department.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $3.3 billion, including $1.4 billion SGF,
in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $32.8 million, including $12.1 million SGF, below the agency's
revised estimate in FY 2024. The Governor's recommendation includes 380.6 FTE positions,
which is the same as the agency's revised estimate.
The decrease in expenditures is primarily due to the Governor's recommendation to
delete $39.0 million, including $18.7 million SGF, to adopt the fall consensus caseloads revised
estimate in FY 2024. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease of $11.6 million, including $4.5
million SGF, to account for several Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) transitioning to
Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) partway through the year. The
previous estimate assumed all CMHCs would transition on July 1, and the revised estimate
more accurately reflects a partial year's cost. For more information, see the "Consensus
Caseloads Estimate" Special Topics section for this agency.
Lastly, the Governor recommends lapsing $903,780 SGF from the CARE/PASRR
program to avoid double counting, as funding for this program was included in consensus
caseloads in FY 2024. The Client Assessment, Referral and Evaluation (CARE) program is the
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 37 - March 10, 2024 Kansas-specific version of the Pre-admission Screen and Resident Review) PASRR, which is a
CMS-mandated assessment to determine appropriate placement of an individual in a long-term-
care facility, including in nursing facilities that are funded through the consensus caseloads
process.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 71 — State Institutions for Intellectual Disabilities
The agency requests a revised estimate of $74.1 million, including $41.4 million SGF, in
expenditures and 956.7 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $5.9 million, including
$5.2 million SGF, above the amount approved by the 2023 Legislature. This is an all funds
increase of 8.6 percent and an SGF increase of 14.2 percent above the approved amount. The
increase is primarily due to a $4.0 million SGF transfer from KDADS to PSH and KNI in FY 2024
to provide shift differentials to PSH and KNI employees pursuant to the 24/7 Pay Plan.
Additionally, the revised estimate also includes $590,749 SGF in supplemental funding
and an increase of 7.0 FTE positions for PSH to restructure its cottage management team. PSH
reports its 13.0 Program Coordinator FTE positions have a 60.0 percent vacancy rate due to
requiring a four-year college degree in human services and sufficient experience. PSH requests
the 7.0 new FTE positions, which do not require a four-year college degree, only cottage or
supervisory experience. Additionally, PSH states $235,139 of this funding would be used to
increase other cottage management FTE positions to avoid wage compression.
Lastly, the revised estimate includes $228,042 SGF in supplemental funding and an
increase of 7.0 FTE positions for PSH to expand the dual diagnosis treatment and training
services (DDT&TS) team. The team has 7.0 FTE positions composing three outreach services
teams, who travel throughout the state to train parents and community services providers to
serve Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in the community. PSH
reports it has a waitlist of 51 individuals with a wait time of 4 to 5 months. The agency states
97.8 percent of the individuals who completed consultation with the team remained in their own
communities. Furthermore, PSH indicates the expansion would increase the number of
individuals served by 40 in the first year.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $73.3 million, including $40.7 million
SGF, in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $818,791, including $695,164 SGF, below the agency's
revised estimate in FY 2024. This decrease is due to the Governor not recommending the
agency's two enhancement requests for a cottage management restructure and expansion of
the DDT&TS team at PSH. The Governor's recommendation also includes a decrease of 14.0
FTE positions to not recommend the two enhancement requests.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 71— State Institutions for Mental Health
The agency requests a revised estimate of $187.3 million, including $150.2 million SGF,
in expenditures and 1,454.9 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $56.2 million, or
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 38 - March 10, 2024 42.9 percent, including an SGF increase of $38.9 million, or 35.0 percent, above the budget
approved by the 2023 Legislature.
This increase is primarily due to the the agencies' supplemental requests totaling $27.4
million SGF and a transfer of $10.9 million SGF from KDADS for the hourly differential
payments pursuant to the 24/7 Pay Plan. Additionally, the agencies’ requests include an
estimated $16.0 million in carry-forward funds in the LSH Title XIX Fund above the amount in
the approved budget. These funds were transferred from KDADS in FY 2023 pending receipt of
the FY 2023 Governor’s Budget Amendment (GBA) to cover the contract agency staff shortfall,
and they will primarily be used to reduce the shortfall in FY 2024.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $181.7 million, including $144.7
million SGF, for the agencies in FY 2024. This is a decrease of $5.6 million SGF below the
agencies' revised estimate in FY 2024. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending
the request from LSH for a Due Process Manager (LSH requested $65,171 SGF, and the
Governor recommended $0) and partially recommending the request from OSH for contract
nursing expenditures (OSH requested $10.5 million SGF, and the Governor recommended $5.0
million SGF).
Additionally, the Governor recommends a reduction of 49.0 FTE positions below the
agencies' revised estimate to eliminate unfilled and unfunded FTE positions from the agencies'
FTE counts.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 72 — Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services
The agency requests $3.1 billion, including $1.3 billion SGF, in expenditures and 372.6
FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $195.0 million, or 5.9 percent, including an
SGF decrease of $130.0 million, or 9.3 percent, below the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
The decrease is primarily due to several large expenditures in FY 2024 not reoccurring
in FY 2025, including $191.2 million in SGF reappropriations, $66.0 million in SPARK Taskforce
grants, $22.0 million for the Ascension Via Christi emergency room expansion, and $15.5 million
in SIBF reappropriations.
The overall decrease is partially offset by the agency's 20 enhancement requests
totaling $122.5 million, including $49.9 million SGF.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $3.1 billion, including $1.3 billion SGF, for
FY 2025. This is a decrease of $32.8 million, but an increase of $11.0 million SGF, from the
agency's request for FY 2025.
The reduction is primarily due to the Governor's recommendation not to adopt 12 of the
agency's enhancement requests, totaling $82.7 million. Those requests include:
●PACE Staffing ($175,262, including $87,631 SGF);
●Behavioral Health Commission Staffing ($570,908, including $285,455 SGF);
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 39 - March 10, 2024 ●IECMH Coordinator ($87,752 SGF and 1.0 FTE position);
●NFMH Case Management ($1.5 million SGF);
●SUD Uninsured Services and Staffing ($5.1 million SGF and 1.0 FTE position);
●Assistive Technology for I/DD Waiver ($7.8 million, including $3.0 million SGF);
●Cognitive Support Service for PD Waiver ($9.5 million, including $3.7 million SGF);
●500 Additional Slots for the I/DD Waiver ($34.5 million, including $13.3 million SGF);
●500 Additional Slots for the PD Waiver ($11.5 million, including $4.5 million SGF);
●T1000 Rate Increase ($9.1 million, including $3.5 million SGF);
●Cottonwood Recreation Building Remodel ($1.9 million SIBF); and
●Special Services and MICO House Office Renovation ($873,600 SIBF).
Additionally, the Governor recommends partial adoption of eight enhancement requests,
which results in a reduction of $22.8 million. Those requests include:
●Supported Employment Rate Increase ($21.3 million decrease);
●Family Treatment Court Costs ($1.5 million SGF decrease);
●Employment and Benefits Coordinator (fund $21,938 from existing funds);
●Family Support Coordinator (fund $43,876 from existing funds);
●CSW Staffing (2.0 FTE position decrease); and
●TA Program Manager (1.0 FTE position decrease).
Furthermore, the Governor's recommendation includes an increase of $2.5 million for
institutional razing projects; $30.3 million, including $15.8 million SGF, to adopt the fall
consensus caseloads initial estimate for FY 2025; $40.0 million SGF to provide grants to assist
local governments in responding to and preventing housing insecurity in their communities;
$120,000 SGF and 1.0 FTE position to create the State Housing Supports Director position; and
$690,868 SGF for a shoe and boot allowance for safety and security officers and nursing staff at
state hospitals.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Adopt GBA No. 1, Item 5, to add $23.0 million, including $8.9 million SGF, to add 250

2,000 individuals for FY 2026.
9. Add $17.3 million, including $6.7 million SGF, to add 250 individuals from the waitlist
to the Intellectual and Developmental Disability waiver for FY 2025, and add language

estimate of the additional cost to keep the waitlist below 4,800 individuals for FY 2026.
10. Add $5.2 million, including $2.0 million SGF, to increase the specialized medical
care rate from $47 per hour to $51.50 per hour for the I/DD and TA waivers for FY 2025.

20. Add $600,000 SGF for respite care funding for individuals with Alzheimer's disease,

21. Add $5.0 million SGF for one-time grants to increase wages in 14c settings, and to
assist providers in providing competitive wages in anticipation of the federal
government eliminating the 14c exception for FY 2025.
Sec. 72 — State Institutions for Intellectual Disabilities
The agency request $70.7 million, including $37.5 million SGF, in expenditures and
956.7 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $3.4 million, including a decrease of $3.9
million SGF, below the agencies' revised estimate for FY 2024. This is a decrease of 4.5
percent, including an SGF decrease of 9.4 percent, below the revised estimate. This decrease
is primarily due to the 24/7 Pay Plan transfers of $4.0 million SGF appearing in the agencies'
budget for FY 2024 but not FY 2025. The funds are requested in the KDADS budget for FY
2025 and will be transferred to the agencies during FY 2025. The decrease is partially offset by
enhancement requests totaling $1.2 million, including $1.0 million SGF, to restructure the
cottage management team and to expand the DDT&TS team.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $70.3 million, including $37.1 million
SGF, for FY 2024. This is a decrease of $437,665 SGF below the agency's request for FY 2025.
The decrease is due to the Governor recommending partial adoption of the agency's
enhancement request to restructure the cottage management team for FY 2025. The Governor
also recommends partial adoption of the agency's enhancement request to expand the
DDT&TS team. The Governor's recommendation includes a decrease of 14.0 FTE positions to
not recommend the addition of FTE positions for the enhancement requests.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 72 — State Institutions for Mental Health
The agency requests $176.2 million, including $155.2 million SGF, in expenditures and
1,454.9 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $11.0 million, or 5.9 percent, including
a SGF increase of $5.0 million, or 3.3 percent, from the agencies' request for FY 2024.
The overall decrease is due to an anticipated decrease of $14.5 million in the LSH Title
XIX Fund and a decrease of $14.3 million SGF due to the 24/7 Pay Plan transfer appearing in
the KDADS budget for FY 2025. The overall decrease is partially offset by the agencies'
enhancement requests totaling $43 million SGF.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $134.1 million, including $112.6
million SGF, for the agencies for FY 2025. This is a reduction of $42.1 million, including $42.6
million SGF, below the agencies' request for FY 2025. The reduction is due to the Governor not
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 42 - March 10, 2024 recommending the following enhancement requests: LSH Sexual Predator Treatment Program
(SPTP) Deputy Superintendent ($170,157 SGF), LSH Due Process Manager ($86,927 SGF),
LSH Contract Nursing ($31.0 million SGF), OSH Contract Nursing ($10.5 million SGF), and LSH
SPTP Primary Medical Care Staff ($326,454 SGF). Additionally, the Governor recommends a
slight reduction to the request by LSH for a Forensic Evaluator (a decrease of $4,502 SGF).
Finally, the Governor recommends using State Institutions Building Fund (SIBF) moneys for the
Biddle Courtyard Remodel (a decrease of $492,886 SGF and an increase of the same amount
of SIBF moneys).
The Governor's recommendation also includes a reduction of 49.0 FTE positions below
the agencies' request to eliminate unfilled and unfunded FTE positions from the agencies' FTE
counts.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
1. Delete $24.5 million SGF in base budget contract nursing expenditures, including
$9.9 million SGF at LSH and $15.5 million SGF at OSH, for FY 2025, and review at
Omnibus.
Sec. 73 — Department for Children and Families
The agency submits a FY 2024 revised estimate of $1.02 billion, including $433.9
million SGF and $8.3 million from the Children's Initiative Fund. The agency's revised estimate
is an all funds increase of $146.4 million, or 16.8 percent, and an SGF increase of $1.1 million,
or 0.3 percent, above the FY 2024 approved budget. The increase is primarily in expenditures
funded with federal dollars and includes child care quality funded through the federal Child Care
and Development fund ($49.2), additional utility assistance provided to families funded through
federal programs ($46.4 million), community resource grants as funded by the SPARK Task
Force ($18 million), and expenses within prevention and protection services ($6.9 million).
The Governor recommends expenditures of $1.03 billion, including $436.7 million SGF,
in FY 2024. The recommendation is an all funds increase of $8.9 million, or 0.9 percent,
including an SGF increase of $2.8 million, or 0.7 percent, above the agency's FY 2024 revised
estimate. The increase is attributable to revised estimates for human services caseloads.
Expenditures for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) caseloads are anticipated to
increase by $200,000. While the yearly decline in TANF caseloads continues, the rate of decline
was slower than previously projected. Expenditures for foster care are projected to increase by
$8.7 million, including $2.8 million SGF, in FY 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to the
agency's policy decision to amend the case management contracts to allow the case
management organizations to cover actual costs in FY 2024 with savings recognized from prior
years. The increase is partially offset by implementation of the national rule that allows DCF to
use kin-specific licensing or approval standards for a child's foster home placement. With that,
DCF can claim additional Title IV-E federal dollars and recognize partial SGF savings.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 43 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 74 — Department for Children and Families
The agency requests $906.8 million, including $430.1 million SGF, for FY 2025, which is
an all funds decrease of $110.3 million, or 10.8 percent, including an SGF decrease of $3.8
million, or 0.9 percent, from the FY 2024 revised estimate.
The request includes 13 enhancement requests totaling $41.3 million, including $22.7
million SGF. Major enhancement requests include a replacement of the Child Care Welfare
Information System (CCWIS) ($10.7 million SGF), fully maximizing the match for the Child Care
and Development Fund for FY 2025 ($2.7 million SGF), startup costs for five additional Family
Resource Centers ($2.5 million), ongoing maintenance and support for the Child Care
Workforce Registry ($1.1 million), increase to the base funding for the 10 Centers for
Independent Living ($1.0 million SGF), and fund grants for families with adopted children who
are at risk of removal ($1.0 million).
The agency requests 2,592.8 FTE positions for FY 2024. The number of positions
decreased by 63 from the FY 2024 revised estimate. Most of these were pandemic, grant-
funded positions that will not be used moving forward.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $923.4 million, including $436.3 million SGF,
for FY 2025. The recommendation is an all funds increase of $16.7 million, or 1.8 percent,
including an SGF increase of $6.1 million, or 1.4 percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request.
The increase is primarily attributable to the Governor recommending additional one-time
funding for child care sustainability grants and workforce support ($15.0 million SGF). The
agency received $16.3 million federal funds for this purpose in FY 2023 with the Coronavirus
Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA) and discretionary, pandemic
funding from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF).
The Governor does not recommend the agency's enhancement requests for CASA,
KanCoach, the summer EBT program, or for the Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of
Hearing. The Governor partially recommends the agency's enhancement requests to replace
the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) ($8.5 million SGF), support
Family resource Centers ($1.1 million SGF), and to provide the state match for the Child Care
and Development Fund ($2.6 million SGF). The Governor recommends the agency's
enhancement request to fund the child care workforce registry; however, it is recommended to
use the Children's Initiatives Fund to fund this rather than SGF. The Governor fully recommends
the remaining enhancement requests totaling $3.8 million SGF.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $15.0 million SGF for the child care sustainability and workforce grants for FY
2025.
2. Add $1.0 million SGF in one-time expenditures for DCCCA, Inc. to provide family
preservation services for FY 2025.
3. Add $350,000 SGF in one-time funding for Youth Core ministries to provide the Core
Community program for FY 2025.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 44 - March 10, 2024 4. Add $250,000 SGF in one-time funding for Keys for Networking to provide iGRAD for
FY 2025, and add language requiring Keys for Networking to submit a status report to
the Senate Ways and Means Subcommittee on Human Services and the House
Committee on Social Services Budget prior to January 31, 2025 detailing the program's
use among Kansas foster care children.
5. Add $250,000 SGF in one-time funding for Keys for Networking to provide iGRAD for
FY 2025.
6. Add $1.3 million SGF for the Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Centers for Independent
Living (CIL) for FY 2025.
7. Adopt GBA No. 1, Item 6, to add $1.4 million, including $1.2 million SGF, for a new
Family Finding information technology system for FY 2025.
Sec. 75 — Kansas Guardianship Program
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1.5 million SGF in expenditures and 10.0
FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $100,825, or 7.1 percent, above the amount
approved by the 2023 Legislature. This increase is primarily due to a supplemental request of
$95,343 for reimbursement of leftover funds from FY 2023. Additionally, there is an increase of
$5,482 to account for a shortfall in appropriations in the Legislative Pay Plan in SB 25. This
adjustment would achieve the intended effect of the pay plan and does not represent a
substantive change from the salary adjustments approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 76 — Kansas Guardianship Program
The agency requests a revised estimate of $1.4 million SGF in expenditures and 10.0
FTE positions in FY 2025. This is a decrease of $90,629, or 5.9 percent, below the agency's
2024 revised estimate. The decrease is largely due to the agency's FY 2024 supplemental
request for the reimbursement of leftover funds from FY 2023 that was not budgeted for in FY
2025.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 77 — State Library
The agency requests a revised estimate of $6.2 million, including $4.1 million SGF, in
expenditures and 29.5 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $113,881, or
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 45 - March 10, 2024 1.9 percent, including an SGF increase of $13,810, or 3.1 percent, above the FY 2024 approved
amount.
The SGF increase is due to the agency's supplemental request to account for a shortfall
in appropriations for the Legislative Pay Plan in 2023 SB 25. The all funds increase is mainly
due to increases in contractual services of $127,049, or 4.5 percent, and an increase in capital
outlay of $25,785, or 41.8 percent, partially offset by a decrease in commodities of $53,000, or
67.2 percent. The contractual services increase is primarily due to the agency's decision to
continue a TumbleBookLibrary subscription ($100,969). TumbleBookLibrary is an online
database of children's e-books for grades K–6; it includes animated, talking picture books; read-
along chapter books; graphic novels; nonfiction books and videos; and books in Spanish and
French. The decrease in commodities is mostly due to decreases in other professional, scientific
supplies and materials. The increase in capital outlay is mostly due to increases in book and
library material and noncapital office equipment.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate and recommends
$6.2 million, including $4.1 million SGF, in expenditures and 29.5 FTE positions in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 78 — State Library
The agency requests $9.7 million, including $7.6 million SGF, in expenditures and 29.5
FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $3.5 million, or 56.3 percent,
including an SGF increase of $3.4 million, or 82.5 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate.
The increase is mainly due to the agency's enhancement requests for State Grants-in-
Aid to libraries. According to the agency, the current appropriation for State Grants-in-Aid to
libraries has remained stagnant at $1.1 million SGF for several years. The two enhancements
combined are an increase of $3.3 million SGF, or 311.6 percent, for a total of $4.4 million SGF
for the State Grants-in-Aid to libraries in FY 2025.
The agency’s request also includes enhancement requests to increase the state courier
subsidy ($62,180), continue the Blind Information Access program contract ($31,000), and hire
a part-time temporary unclassified Audio Production Assistant position ($29,046).
The Governor recommends $9.6 million, including $7.5 million SGF, for FY 2025. This is
a decrease of $91,226, all SGF, or 0.9 percent, below the agency's request for FY 2025. The
Governor's recommendation does not include the agency's enhancement requests for a part-
time unclassified Audio Production Assistant position and to subsidize the cost of the Kansas
Library Express (KLE) courier service for inter-library loans.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Delete $1.5 million SGF for a new base amount for State Grants-in-Aids to libraries
for FY 2025.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 46 - March 10, 2024 2. Delete $1.9 million SGF for the per capita formula for State Grants-in-Aid to libraries
for FY 2025.
Sec. 79 — Kansas State School for the Blind
The agency requests expenditures of $15.3 million, including $8.7 million SGF, for FY
2025. This is an all funds increase of $2.0 million, or 15.2 percent, and an SGF increase of $1.8
million, or 25.5 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. This increase is largely due to the
agency's 14 enhancement requests totaling $3.8 million, including $1.67 million SGF, for FY
2025. The SGF enhancement requests are for certified teachers, therapists, and staff positions,
as well as extending summer school on campus and startup costs for a new early childhood
program. The other enhancement requests are for capital improvements.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $14.5 million, including $7.9 million SGF,
for FY 2025. This is an SGF decrease of $806,540 or 5.3 percent. This decrease is due to the
Governor not recommending the agency's enhancement requests for additional certified
teachers and start up costs for a new, early childhood program.
The decrease in SGF is partially offset by the Governor's recommendation to add
$93,460 SGF for teacher and licensed personnel to satisfy the requirements of KSA 76-11a16.
This law requires that all teachers and licensed personnel of the School for the Blind be
compensated at a rate equal to the equivalent personnel of USD 233 Olathe as of September 1
of the preceding school year. When the agency initially submitted their budget request for FY
2025, the agency budgeted $75,000 for this purpose. After this, USD 233 Olathe released their
negotiated salary increase, and the Governor's recommendation estimates that an additional
$93,460 will be required to satisfy these requirements.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $300,000 SGF in one-time funding for the start up costs of an early childhood
program in WyCO/KCK for FY 2025.
2. Delete $120,000 SGF and 1.0 FTE position for cyber security IT for FY 2025 and
review at Omnibus.
Sec. 80 — Kansas State School for the Deaf
The agency requests $17.3 million, including $11.6 million SGF, for FY 2025. This is an
all funds increase of $1.2 million, or 7.3 percent, and an SGF increase of $402,535, or 3.6
percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is primarily attributable to the
agency's capital improvement enhancement requests ($1.9 million) and their enhancement
requests within their Support Services program ($220,000).

million SGF. This is an all funds increase of $497,235, including an SGF increase of $402,535,
above the FY 2024 revised estimate. This SGF increase is primarily due to the agency's two IT
enhancement requests for FY 2025 ($220,000) and increased expenditures for salaries within
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 47 - March 10, 2024 the Instructional Services program in accordance with KSA 76-11a17, which requires teachers
at KSSD be paid the same as teachers at USD 233 Olathe were paid in the previous year.

is an SGF decrease of $41,794, or 0.2 percent, below the agency's request. The decrease is

position ($100,000), offset by an increase in salaries and wages to allow compliance with KSA

of $222,053, or 2.5 percent, and an SGF increase of $378,394, or 7.5 percent, above the FY
2024 approved amount. This increase is mainly due to the capital improvement supplemental
request of $790,000, including $725,000 SGF, which is an all funds increase of $350,000, or
79.5 percent, and an SGF increase of $350,000, or 93.3 percent, above the FY 2024 approved
amount. This increase is due to a supplemental request for the Shawnee Indian Mission roof

amount. The capital improvements increase is due to the agency's enhancement request to

agency, the current units have been in place since 1984 and have reached their service limit.
There are also decreases in the agency's request for contractual services ($115,750),
aid to locals ($150,000), and other assistance ($600,000), and an increase in salaries and
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 48 - March 10, 2024 wages ($126,442), for FY 2025. The decrease for contractual services is mainly due to
decreases in repair and servicing ($59,000) and other contractual services ($40,000). The
decrease in aid to locals and other assistance are both due to anticipated reductions in federal
aid in those areas. The increase in salaries and wages is due to an increase in group health
benefits and anticipated hiring to fill vacant FTE positions ($206,371).
The Governor recommends $10.8 million, including $7.8 million SGF, in expenditures
and 74.5 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an increase of $853,743 SGF, or 12.2 percent,

construction of a new National Guard armory in Hays. The decrease is partially offset by the
agency's five enhancement requests totaling $8.9 million, including $1.4 million SGF. These
enhancement requests include increased disaster relief payments, 2.0 FTE positions at the

of 3.0 FTE positions above the FY 2024 revised number. The position increase is attributable to
the agency's enhancement requests.

is a decrease of $87,000, all SGF, or 0.1 percent, below the agency's FY 2025 request. The
decrease is due to the Governor not recommending the agency's supplemental request of
$127,000 SGF for the Office of Emergency Communications, partially offset by the Governor's
recommendation to modify the agency's enhancement request of $220,000 SGF for 2.0 FTE

positions. The recommendation includes 299.6 FTE positions, which is unchanged from the

Kansas Legislative Research Department - 58 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 102 — State Fire Marshal
The agency requests $9.1 million, all from special revenue funds, for FY 2025. This is
an increase of $729,889, or 8.8 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is
attributable to increased salaries and wages expenditures, primarily due to increased employer
contributions for fringe benefits and the addition of 2.2 FTE positions. These positions primarily
include an Assistant Attorney General for the State Fire Marshal, which was previously located
in the Office of the Attorney General, and an Administrative Specialist in the Fire Prevention
Division. The increase is also attributable to increased expenditures for specialized equipment,
such as hazardous material detection equipment. The increase is offset by decreased
expenditures for computer programming services in the Elevator Safety program and attorney
fees previously paid to the Office of the Attorney General. The request includes 72.5 FTE
positions, which is an increase of 2.2 FTE positions above the FY 2024 revised number. The
position increases are mainly in the Administration and Fire Prevention divisions.
The Governor recommends $9.3 million, including $250,000 SGF, in expenditures for
FY 2025. This is an increase of $250,000, all SGF, above the agency's FY 2025 requested
amount. The increase is due to the Governor adding $100,000 SGF for 1.0 FTE position for a
Childcare Inspection Specialist to provide outreach and $150,000 SGF for a Volunteer
Firefighter Workforce Study. The recommendation includes 73.5 FTE positions, which is an
increase of 1.0 FTE position above the requested number. The position increase is in the
Investigation Division and accounts for the Governor's addition of the inspector position.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $200,000, all from the Fire Marshal Fee Fund, and 1.0 FTE Division Chief
position with equipment to oversee a newly-organized Industrial Safety Division, which
includes the Boiler and Elevator Safety programs, for FY 2025.
2. Delete $150,000 SGF, and add the same amount from the Fire Marshal Fee Fund,
for a Volunteer Firefighter Workforce Study for FY 2025.
3. Delete $100,000 SGF and 1.0 FTE Childcare Inspection Specialist position to
conduct outreach with childcare providers concerning fire safety inspections for FY
2025.
4. Delete 1.0 FTE Administrative Specialist position in the Fire Prevention Division for
FY 2025
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 59 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 103 — Kansas Highway Patrol
The agency submits a revised estimate of $140.7 million, all from special revenue funds,
in expenditures in FY 2024. This is an increase of $19.1 million, or 15.7 percent, above the FY
2024 approved amount. The increase is primarily attributable to the agency's two supplemental
requests totaling $17.2 million, all from special revenue funds. The requests include $7.2 million
for major improvements to the KHP Training Academy facility in Salina, which the agency
indicates is necessary to decrease operating costs and increase safety, and $10.0 million to
construct and equip a new Central Dispatch facility in Salina to provide improved working
conditions for dispatchers and meet disaster preparedness standards. The revised estimate
includes 880.0 FTE positions, which is unchanged from the approved number.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024. The
recommendation includes funding for the agency's two supplemental requests concerning major
improvements to the KHP Training Academy and construction of a new Central Dispatch facility.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 104 — Kansas Highway Patrol
The agency requests $120.1 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures for
FY 2025. This is a decrease of $20.6 million, or 14.7 percent, below the FY 2024 revised
estimate. The decrease is primarily attributable decreased expenditures for major improvements
to the KHP Training Academy facility and construction of a new Central Dispatch facility
occurring in FY 2024 but not reoccurring for FY 2025. The decrease is also attributable to
decreased expenditures for aircraft operations, primarily due to the one-time purchase of an
additional law enforcement helicopter in FY 2024, which was approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The decrease is partially offset by increased expenditures for the agency's three enhancements
requests totaling $4.6 million, all from special revenue funds. These requests include $312,172
for differential and premium pay for sworn officers and dispatchers, $2.3 million to purchase the
previously-leased Troop B Headquarters building in Shawnee County, and $2.0 million for the
procurement of body-worn cameras. The increase is also attributable to the replacement of an
aircraft hangar in Hays. The request includes 880.0 FTE positions, which is unchanged from the
FY 2024 revised number.
The Governor recommends $117.9 million, all from special revenue funds, in
expenditures for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $2.2 million, or 1.8 percent, below the agency's
FY 2025 requested amount. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending the
agency's enhancement request of $2.3 million to purchase the Troop B Headquarters building in
Shawnee County. The decrease is partially offset by an increase of $125,000, which the
Governor recommends adding to provide sworn officers with an annual boot allowance. The
recommendation includes funding for the agency's remaining enhancements concerning
premium pay and body-worn cameras.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $4.6 million, and increase the transfer from the State Highway Fund to the KHP
Operating Fund by the same amount, for a 10.0 percent increase to the Career
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 60 - March 10, 2024 Progression Plan for sworn officers for FY 2025.
2. Add $366,123, and increase the transfer from the State Highway Fund to the KHP
Operating Fund by the same amount, for 10.0 percent salary increase for dispatchers
for FY 2025.
Sec. 105 — Kansas Bureau of Investigation
The agency submits a revised estimate of $48.9 million, including $33.1 million SGF, in
FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $491,438, or 1.0 percent, including an SGF decrease
of $41,140, or 0.1 percent, from the FY 2024 approved amount. The increase is partially
attributable to the agency's enhancement request of $141,040 SGF to cover the pay plan
shortfall. The increase is also attributable to increased funding, all from federal American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, to purchase encrypted radios. The agency requests a lapse of
$182,180 SGF, which was provided for a jailhouse witness database required in a proposed
2023 HB 2010; however an amended version of the bill passed without requirements for the
database. The revised estimate includes 366.5 FTE positions, which is an increase of 10.0 FTE
positions above the FY 2024 approved number. The position increase is attributable to
implementation of funding approved by the 2023 Legislature for the Surge Initiative and agency
operational needs. These funded positions include 5.0 FTE positions for a Joint Fentanyl Impact
Taskforce, 3.0 FTE positions for a West Child Victim Task Force (WCVTF), and 2.0 FTE
positions for operational support.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 106 — Kansas Bureau of Investigation
The agency requests $62.7 million, including $49.0 million SGF, for FY 2025. This is an
all funds increase of $13.8 million, or 28.3 percent, including an SGF increase of $15.9 million,
or 48.2 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The increase is primarily attributable to
the agency's six enhancement requests totaling $16.1 million SGF. These enhancement
requests include:
●$2.5 million SGF for Career Progression Plans (CPPs) involving commissioned
officers and forensic scientists;
●$6.9 million SGF and 30.0 FTE positions for the Fight Against Fentanyl effort
involving special agents, forensic scientists, analysts, support staff, and a new
laboratory data system;
●$1.1 million SGF for replacement of the Kansas Criminal Justice Information System
(KCJIS) Central Messaging Switch;
●$1.8 million SGF and 11.0 FTE positions for a Child Protection Initiative involving a
Southeast Child Victim Task Force, child victim services, and Amber Alert support;
● $850,000 SGF and 4.0 FTE positions for a KCJIS Support Center to address
cybersecurity vulnerabilities; and
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 61 - March 10, 2024 ●$3.1 million SGF for the initial debt service payment on bonds supporting
construction of a proposed Regional Crime Center and Laboratory in Pittsburg, which
has a total construction cost of $40.0 million.
The increase is partially offset by decreased expenditures from federal ARPA funds for
encrypted radios, laboratory equipment, and a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
system. The revised estimate includes 411.5 FTE positions, which is an increase of 45.0 FTE
positions above the FY 2024 revised numbers. The position increase is attributable to the
agency's enhancement requests.
The Governor recommends $52.4 million, including $38.7 million SGF, for FY 2025. This
is a decrease of $10.3 million, all SGF, or 16.4 percent, below the agency's FY 2025 requested
amount. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending or only partially
recommending the agency's enhancement requests. The recommendation includes: $253,385
SGF for CPPs to continue step and merit increases for commissioned officers and forensic
scientists; $3.8 million SGF and 9.0 FTE positions for the Fight Against Fentanyl effort, which
includes a new laboratory data system; $711,999 SGF and 5.0 FTE positions for a Child
Protection Initiative; and $1.1 million SGF for a KCJIS Central Messaging Switch. The Governor
does not recommend funding for: an overall increase to CPPs, a KCJIS Support Center, and the
Pittsburg Regional Crime Center and Laboratory.
The recommendation includes 380.5 FTE positions, which is a decrease of 31.0 FTE
positions below the FY 2025 requested number. The position decrease to due the Governor's
adjustments concerning the agency's enhancement requests.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:

FY 2025.
2. Add $2.3 million SGF for a 10.0 percent increase to Career Progression Plans for
commissioned officers and forensic scientists for FY 2025.
Sec. 107 — Emergency Medical Services Board
The agency requests $3.1 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures for FY
2025. This is an increase of $246,673, or 8.8 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The
increase is primarily attributable to the agency's enhancement request of $220,924 in salary and
wages expenditures for a salary realignment among all positions to address recruiting and
retention challenges. The increase is also attributable to legal fees associated with an
anticipated increase in administrative hearings, increased IT consulting services to support the
KEMSIS, and travel expenditures. The increase is partially offset by decreased expenditures
from the EMS Revolving Grant Fund for aid to local EMS agencies to support the purchase of
patient care equipment, which is due to carryover funding available in FY 2024 that is not
available for FY 2025. The request includes 14.0 FTE positions, which is unchanged from the
FY 2024 revised number.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 62 - March 10, 2024 The Governor recommends $2.8 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures
for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $220,924, or 7.2 percent, below the FY 2024 requested
amount. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending the agency's enhancement
request for a salary realignment. The recommendation includes 14.0 FTE positions, which is
unchanged from the FY 2024 requested number.

Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 108 — Kansas Sentencing Commission

Treatment Program.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 109 — Kansas Sentencing Commission
The agency requests $17.0 million all funds, including $16.9 million SGF. This is an
increase of $2.2 million, or 15.3 percent, above the FY 2024 revised request. The increase is
due to the three enhancement requests of $2.3 million SGF. Minus the enhancements, the FY
2025 request is $78,198 SGF below the FY 2024 revised request.
The Governor recommends $12.3 million, including $12.2 million SGF. This is an all
funds decrease of $4.7 million, or 27.8 percent, and an SGF decrease of $4.7 million, or 27.8
percent, below the agency's request for FY 2024. The reductions are mainly due to corrections
in the agency's budget request and a lapse of the SB 123 Substance Abuse Treatment Program
for FY 2025.

Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 110 — Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training

percent, above the approved amount. This is for approved increases of salaries and wages in
FY 2024. The FTE positions remain the same.

Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 111 — Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training
The agency requests $1.0 million, all from special revenue funds, in expenditures and
6.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $65,408, or 5.9 percent, below the revised
estimate in FY 2024. The decrease is in capital outlay due to no additional expenditures for
safety and security, which was appropriated in FY 2024. The FTE positions remain the same.

HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 112 — Kansas Department of Agriculture
The agency requests a revised estimate of $66.9 million, including $13.4 million SGF, in
expenditures and 352.8 FTE positions in FY 2024. The estimate is an all funds increase of $1.3
million, or 1.9 percent, including an increase of $285,977 SGF, or 2.2 percent, above the FY
2024 approved amount. The all funds increase is primarily attributable to the agency requesting
a transfer of $1.5 million from the SWPF at the Kansas Water Office in FY 2024. Expenditures
associated with this transfer support water reservoir protection efforts. The SGF increase is
attributable to three agency supplemental requests totaling $285,977. Those supplemental
requests include laboratory supplies ($150,000 SGF), livestock brand investigators ($50,000
SGF), and funding for the pay plan shortfall ($85,977 SGF).
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $76.9 million, including $13.4 million
SGF and $29.8 million SWPF, in FY 2024. This is an increase of $10.0 million, all SWPF, or 14.9
percent, above the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate. The recommendation includes three
agency supplemental requests totaling $285,977 SGF, including $150,000 SGF for laboratory
supplies, $50,000 SGF for livestock investigators, and $85,977 SGF for the pay plan shortfall.
The Governor recommends additional SWPF transfers from the Kansas Water Office to
the Kansas Department of Agriculture totaling $10.0 million in FY 2024. This adjustment aligns
with action taken by the State Finance Council on November 13, 2023.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 113 — Kansas Department of Agriculture
The agency requests $69.2 million, including $13.7 million SGF, in expenditures and
352.8 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $2.3 million, or 3.4 percent,
and an increase of $290,560 SGF, or 2.2 percent, above the FY 2024 revised estimate. The all
funds increase is primarily attributable to the agency requesting transfer increases totaling $9.5
million from the SWPF at the Kansas Water Office for FY 2025. Expenditures associated with
these transfers support water reservoir protection efforts, water use database modernization,
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 64 - March 10, 2024 irrigation technology, crop and livestock research, water resources cost share, aid to
conservation districts, water transition assistance, dam construction rehabilitation, and stream
bank stabilization.
The SGF increase is attributable to six agency enhancement requests totaling $525,000.
Those enhancement requests include laboratory supplies ($150,000 SGF), emergency animal
facilities investigation (AFI) shelters ($50,000 SGF), disease outbreak planning in the
Emergency Management program ($200,000 SGF), agency litigation ($50,000 SGF), livestock
investigators ($50,000 SGF), and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) feral swine removal
($25,000). Four of the agency's enhancement requests are new for FY 2025 and two continue
funding requested in the agency's FY 2024 revised estimate.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $70.1 million, including $14.6 million
SGF and $22.9 million SWPF, for FY 2025. This is an increase of $950,000, all SGF, or 1.4
percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request. The recommendation includes five agency
enhancement requests totaling $475,000 SGF, including $150,000 SGF for laboratory supplies,
$50,000 SGF for emergency AFI shelters, $200,000 SGF for the Emergency Management
program, $50,000 SGF for agency litigation, and $25,000 SGF for feral swine removal.
The Governor does not recommend the agency's enhancement request totaling $50,000
SGF for livestock investigators for FY 2025, but does recommend the addition of $1.0 million
SGF for the agency's Local Farm to Food initiative to offset decreased federal funding for the
initiative for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:

conduct an evaluation of the operations of the Central Kansas Water Bank, including
the potential impairment impacts involved with the use of safe deposit accounts in the
Rattlesnake Creek hydrologic unit, and to submit the findings of the evaluation to the
House Committee on Water and the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Natural
Resources for FY 2025.
Sec. 114 — Kansas State Fair
The agency requests $8.0 million, including $135,000 SGF, in expenditures and 27.0
FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $14.3 million, or 64.2 percent,
including an SGF decrease of $13.6 million, or 99.0 percent, below the agency's revised FY
2024 estimate. The decrease is mostly attributable to SGF appropriations for capital
improvements in FY 2024 that do not reoccur for FY 2025. The decrease is also partially
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 65 - March 10, 2024 attributable to projects funded with federal ARPA monies in FY 2024 that do not reoccur for FY
2025.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $8.5 million, including $635,000 SGF,
and 27.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. The recommendation is an increase of $500,000, all SGF,
or 6.3 percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request. The increase is attributable to the
Governor recommending three of the agency's FY 2024 supplemental requests be moved to FY
2025.

Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 115 — Kansas Water Office

expenditures and 22.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an increase of $542,969, including

supplemental requests totaling $2.0 million, including $10,764 SGF, and $2.0 million from the
State Water Plan Fund for coverage of the pay plan shortfall and continued water-injection
dredging at Tuttle Creek reservoir. The agency also requests to transfer $1.5 million from the
State Water Plan Fund to the Kansas Department of Agriculture. In addition to monetary
changes in the agency's revised estimate, the agency requests to add 3.0 FTE positions in FY
2024.
The Governor recommends expenditures of $39.0 million, including $1.1 million SGF
and $12.4 million from the SWPF. This is a decrease of $15.8 million, or 28.8 percent, below the
FY agency's 2024 revised estimate. The decrease is attributable to the recommendation to
transfer $15.8 million in SWPF from the Kansas Water Office to the Kansas Department of
Agriculture and the Kansas Department for Health and Environment in FY 2024. This
adjustment aligns with action taken by the State Finance Council on November 13, 2023.
Absent this transfer, the Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 116 — Kansas Water Office
The agency requests $8.0 million, including $135,000 SGF, in expenditures and 27.0
FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $14.3 million, or 64.2 percent,
including an SGF decrease of $13.6 million, or 99.0 percent, below the agency's revised FY
2024 estimate. The decrease is mostly attributable to SGF appropriations for capital
improvements in FY 2024 that do not reoccur for FY 2025. The decrease is also partially
attributable to projects funded with federal ARPA moneys in FY 2024 that do not reoccur for FY
2025.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $8.5 million, including $635,000 SGF,
and 27.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. The recommendation is an increase of $500,000, all SGF,
or 6.3 percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request. The increase is attributable to the
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 66 - March 10, 2024 Governor recommending three of the agency's FY 2024 supplemental requests be moved to FY
2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 117 — Department of Wildlife and Parks
The agency requests a revised estimate of $122.1 million, including $2.5 million SGF,
$4.5 million from the EDIF, and $224,457 from the State Water Plan Fund (SWPF), in
expenditures and 464.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $9.3 million,
or 8.2 percent, above the FY 2024 approved amount. The increase is primarily attributable to
the agency's supplemental requests totaling $7.1 million, all from special revenue funds. The
increase is also partially attributable to increased estimates for salaries and wages and fringe
benefit costs in FY 2024. The agency's request also includes the addition of 7.0 FTE positions
above the FY 2024 approved amount.
The Governor recommends $119.2 million, including $5.7 million SGF, $224,457 SWPF,
and $4.5 million EDIF in expenditures and 463.0 FTE positions in FY 2024. The
recommendation is an all funds decrease of $2.9 million, or 2.4 percent, below the agency's FY
2024 revised estimate and includes a decrease of 1.0 FTE position. The recommendation
includes an SGF increase of $3.2 million, or 128.0 percent, above the agency's revised
estimate.
The all funds decrease is partially attributable to the Governor not recommending an
agency supplemental request for $111,461, all from special revenue funds, and 1.0 FTE position
for Lehigh State Park in FY 2024. The all funds decrease is also partially attributable to the
Governor recommending reducing expenditures from the Wildlife Fee Fund by $5.0 million,
which primarily includes $2.0 million for capital improvements, $1.2 million for salaries and
wages, and $1.5 million for contractual services. These reductions from the Wildlife Fee Fund
are partially offset by the Governor recommending $6.0 million, including $3.0 million SGF, for
an enhancement request concerning the Flint Hills Trail Grant and Match. The recommendation
for this enhancement is an increase of $3.0 million SGF to provide the State's entire portion for
the project in FY 2024. The SGF increase is also partially attributable to the Governor
recommending $200,000 SGF to replace a shower house at El Dorado State Park in FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2024
1. Delete 3.0 FTE positions from the Ecological Services Program and add 3.0 FTE
positions to the Parks Program to operate shooting ranges located on state park
grounds in FY 2024.
Sec. 118 — Department of Wildlife and Parks
The agency requests $121.2 million, including $200,000 SGF, $4.3 million EDIF, and
$224,457 SWPF, in expenditures and 465.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. The request is an all
funds decrease of $927,620 million, or 0.8 percent, below the FY 2024 revised estimate. The
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 67 - March 10, 2024 decrease is primarily attributable to one-time agency expenditures and supplemental requests in
FY 2024 that do not re-occur for FY 2025. The decrease is also partially attributable to the
agency estimating lower expenditures for commodities for FY 2025 when compared with FY
2024. These decreases are partially offset by increased estimates for other capital improvement
projects, including maintenance at state parks. The agency's request also includes the addition
of 1.0 FTE position above the FY 2024 revised estimate.
The Governor recommends $118.1 million, including $200,000 SGF, $224,457 SWPF,
and $4.4 million EDIF in expenditures and 465.0 FTE positions for FY 2025. The
recommendation is an all funds decrease of $3.1 million, or 2.6 percent, below the agency's FY
2025 request.
The all funds difference is mostly attributable to the Governor recommending reducing
expenditures from the Wildlife Fee Fund by $2.4 million, which includes $1.5 million for capital
improvements and $856,459 for salaries and wages.
The Governor recommends $3.5 million, all from special revenue funds, for the Flint Hills
Trail Grant and Match for FY 2025. The Governor also recommends $800,000, including
$200,000 SGF, to purchase a parcel of land adjacent to the Lovewell Wildlife Management Area
in Jewell County for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025

positions to the Parks Program to operate shooting ranges located on state park
grounds for FY 2025.
Sec. 119 — Kansas Department of Transportation
The agency submits a revised estimate of $2.2 billion, including $1.8 billion from the
State Highway Fund, in expenditures in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $87.9 million,
or 4.1 percent, including a State Highway Fund increase of $45.8 million, or 2.6 percent, above
the FY 2024 approved amount. This is the fourth year of the Eisenhower Legacy (IKE)
Transportation Plan, and expenditures include increased capital improvements in the
Construction Program for the letting of highway expansion projects ($41.7 million) and
preservation projects ($47.4 million), as well as increased engineering services to support these
projects. The revised estimate includes increased capital improvements for buildings ($23.9
million), primarily due to construction of a new District One Headquarters in Topeka.
The increase from the agency's FY 2024 approved budget also includes expenditures for
salaries and wages, costs for bond issuance, rail and airport improvements, and innovative
technologies. The increase is partially offset by decreased expenditures for heavy equipment,
public transit, and capital improvements for highway modernization projects. The revised
estimate includes 2,288.8 FTE positions, which is an increase of 3.5 FTE positions above the
FY 2024 approved number. The position increase is mainly for public communication specialists
and traffic safety analysts.
The Governor concurs with the agency's revised estimate in FY 2024.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 68 - March 10, 2024 HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 69 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 120 — Kansas Department of Transportation
The agency requests $2.3 billion, including $1.9 billion from the State Highway Fund, in
expenditures for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $54.9 million, or 2.4 percent, including
a State Highway Fund increase of $99.0 million, or 5.4 percent, above the FY 2024 revised
estimate. FY 2025 will be the fifth year of the IKE Transportation Plan, and expenditures include
increased capital improvements in the Construction Program for the letting of highway
expansion projects ($139.3 million) and modernization projects ($16.6 million).
The request also includes increased expenditures for heavy equipment and debt service
on highway bonds. The increase is partially offset by decreased capital improvements for
buildings, primarily due to completion of the District One Headquarters in FY 2024. The increase
is further offset by decreased expenditures for rail and airport improvements, public transit, and
innovative technologies. The request includes 2,288.8 FTE positions, which is unchanged from
the FY 2024 revised number.
The Governor recommends $2.3 billion, including $1.9 billion from the State Highway
Fund, in expenditures for FY 2025. This is an increase of $388,245, or less than 0.1 percent, all
from the State Highway Fund, above the FY 2025 requested amount. The increase is due to the
Governor recommending $315,244 for increased differential and standby pay for certain
employees in the Maintenance program, including those responsible for snow and ice removal
on state highways, and $73,000 to increase the tool and personal protective equipment (PPE)
allowances for maintenance employees. The recommendation also includes a transfer of
$361,266 from the Mental Health Grants Fund at the Kansas Department for Aging and
Disability Services (KDADS) to the State Highway Fund for FY 2025, which returns the unspent
balance from a previous transfer to KDADS. The recommendation includes 2,288.8 FTE
positions, which is unchanged from the requested number.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2025
1. Add $5.0 million, and transfer the same amount from the State Highway Fund to
Public Use General Aviation Airport Development Fund, to increase support for the
Kansas Airport Improvement Program for FY 2025. Add language that such transfer
should not occur if SB 272, or similar legislation, is passed by the 2024 Legislature.
This program makes grants to airports to maintain runways and facilities.
2. Add language authorizing expenditures up to $6.0 million, all from the State Highway
Fund, in the Economic Development Program for aid to local governments to upgrade
county roads impacted by the new Hilmar Diary facility for FY 2025.
Sec. 121 — Legislative Allowances
Add language to provide for legislative allowances for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 70 - March 10, 2024 Sec. 122 — Expanded Lottery act Revenues Fund Savings Clause
The Governor recommends that if revenues to the Expanded Lottery Act Revenues
Fund are insufficient to fund appropriations and transfers the difference will be made up from
the State General fund for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 123 — State Employee Pay
The Governor recommends adding $174.4 million, including $73.5 million SGF, for a 5.0
percent state employee base pay increase. The plan would increase salaries for classified and
unclassified employees but would exclude statewide elected officials, legislators, and
employees on a formal career progression plan. If approved, the funds would be appropriated
and certified for distribution by the State Finance Council.
Furthermore, the Governor recommends adding $3.0 million, including $2.0 million SGF,
to increase the hourly minimum wage for state employees to $15.03. This would effect
approximately 971 state employees.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 124 — State Finance Council
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Add $14.1 million SGF and add language directing the funds to be distributed to the
Regents Institutions after each executive officer certifies that the Kansas
Comprehensive Grant has been distributed in the same proportions as FY 2022 for FY
2025.
Sec. 125 — Department of Administration
The Governor recommends the Department of Administration assist the Department for
Aging and Disability Services in transferring title to 15 acres of real estate to the Kansas
Commission on Veteran’s Affairs.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 126 — Department of Administration Capital Improvements
The agency submits a revised estimate of $40.9 million in on-budget capital
improvement expenditures in FY 2024, including $31.1 million SGF and $9.5 million from the
ARPA SRF. The majority of capital project expenditures are for the renovation of the Docking
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 71 - March 10, 2024 State Office Building ($8.2 million) and regular rehab and repair costs for buildings in the Capitol
Complex ($5.0 million). The revised estimate also includes expenditures for three projects
funded through the ARPA SRF: replacing outdated air handlers in the Capitol Complex ($1.5
million), enhancing physical security in the Capitol Complex ($1.6 million), and deferred
maintenance for the State Printing Plant ($3.3 million).
Debt service expenditures include principal payments on bonds that refinanced prior
bonds for a variety of capital projects, including restoration of the Capitol Complex, the
Eisenhower State Office Building, and others ($21.1 million).
The Governor recommends $41.3 million in on-budget capital improvement
expenditures in FY 2024, including $31.5 million SGF and $9.5 million from the ARPA SRF. This
represents an increase of $400,000 above the agency’s revised estimate and is due to the
Governor's recommendation to expand the Office of Printing, Surplus and Central Mail's
operations to scan mail for anomalies prior to delivery. This recommendation includes $150,000
to purchase mail scanning equipment and $250,000 to create a dedicated structure for this
purpose. The Office of the Governor indicates this is in response to the white powder event in
June 2023, where letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent to state legislators
and public officials.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustments:
FY 2024
1. Adopt GBA No. 1, Item 1, to add $20.0 million SGF in FY 2024 to call and pay off the
remaining balance of Series 2016H bonds, which refinanced prior obligations for a
variety of capital improvement projects.
2. Adopt GBA No. 1, Item 2, to add $4.7 million SGF in FY 2024 to defease and pay off
the remaining balance of Series 2020S bonds, which refinanced prior obligations for the
National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility and renovations to the Kansas Statehouse.
3. Adopt GBA No. 1, Item 3, to add $23.0 million SGF in FY 2024 to negotiate a tender
offer and pay off debt obligations on Series 2020K bonds, which transferred ownership
of the Curtis State Office Building and the DCF Topeka Service Center.
4. Add language requiring the State Finance Council approve expenditures for Series
2020K ($23.0 million SGF) and 2020S ($4.7 million SGF) payments before funds are
released.
Sec. 127 — Department of Administration Capital Improvements
The agency requests $31.4 million in on-budget capital improvement expenditures for
FY 2025, including $24.8 million SGF and $6.4 million from the ARPA SRF. The majority of
capital project expenditures are continuations of existing projects, including regular rehab and
repair for the Capitol Complex ($5.0 million), replacing outdated air handlers in the Capitol
Complex ($1.5 million), enhancing physical security in the Capitol Complex ($1.6 million), and
deferred maintenance for the State Printing Plant ($3.3 million). Notably, expenditures for the
renovation of the Docking State Office Building are estimated to conclude in FY 2024 and do not
extend into FY 2025. Debt service expenditures include principal payments on bonds that
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 72 - March 10, 2024 refinanced prior bonds for a variety of capital projects, including restoration of the Capitol
Complex, the Eisenhower State Office Building, and others ($19.8 million).
The Governor recommends $30.4 million in on-budget capital improvement
expenditures for FY 2025, including $24.8 million SGF and $5.3 million from the ARPA SRF.
This represents a decrease of $1.1 million below the agency's request and is primarily due to
lower estimated expenditures from the ARPA SRF to renovate the State Printing Plant..
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 128 — Kansas Department of Commerce Capital Improvements
The agency requests $100,000, all from special revenue funds, to install a new HVAC
control system at the Topeka Workforce Center for FY 2025.
The Governor concurs with the agency’s FY 2025 request.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 129 — Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Capital Improvements
The agency requests $12.3 million SIBF in capital improvement expenditures for FY
2025, including $2.7 million for LSH, $6.9 million for OSH, $1.3 million for PSH, and $1.4 million
for KNI. Requested projects include Priority 1 Rehabilitation and Repair projects listed in the
agency's 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan for FY 2025, as well as the following enhancement
requests:
●FY 2025 PRIORITY 2 REHABILITATION AND REPAIR PROJECTS . The agency
requests $5.6 million, all from the State Institutions Building Fund (SIBF), to fund the
FY 2025 Priority 2 rehabilitation and repair projects identified in the agency's 5-year
capital improvement plan. These projects include:
○$2.4 million to replace the medium-voltage electrical system at OSH;
○$772,200 to upgrade sewer mains at KNI;
○$711,450 to replace deteriorated water mains at OSH;
○$707,200 to replace a chiller at LSH; and
○$468,000 to replace piping at PSH.
●RAZING PROJECTS . The agency requests $650,200 SIBF to raze the Gheel
building on LSH campus and the Chestnut Building on PSH campus. Following the
razing of the De Jong and West Pavilion at OSH in FY 2023 and FY 2024, the Gheel
and Chestnut buildings are the next oldest. The buildings contain asbestos
insulation, asbestos floor and ceiling tile, and lead-based paint. Additionally, the
agency reports the buildings contain live rats and broken windows, and are
susceptible to collapse and arson.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 73 - March 10, 2024 ●COTTONWOOD RECREATION BUILDING REMODEL . The agency requests $1.9
million SIBF to remodel the Cottonwood Recreation Building on OSH campus. The
building was constructed in 1956 and the agency reports it has had no significant
renovations since. The remodel would include sealing and tuckpointing the structure,
replacing windows, implementing ADA compliant modifications, a new HVAC system,
restroom upgrades, repairing moisture-damaged walls, and improving exterior
drainage to prevent moisture damage. The building includes patient recreation,
including a library, television rooms, and game areas.
●SPECIAL SERVICES AND MICO HOUSE OFFICE RENOVATION . The agency
requests $873,600 SIBF to remodel the Special Services building and an office area
in the MICO House, both on OSH campus. The project would involve asbestos
abatement, new flooring, repairing walls, repairing the heating system, and improving
exterior drainage. The project would allow utilization of the third floor of the Special
Services building and protect the IT and other programs in the Special Services
building. The project would expand office space at the MICO facility.
The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $12.0 million SIBF for Capital
Improvements for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $280,400 SIBF below the agency's request for
FY 2025. The decrease is due to the following adjustments:
●NON-RECOMMENDED ENHANCEMENTS . The Governor does not recommend the
agency's enhancements to remodel the Cottonwood Building ($1.9 million) or to
renovate the Special Services and MICO buildings ($873,600).
●ADDITIONAL RAZING PROJECTS . The overall decrease is partially offset by the
Governor's recommendation to add $2.5 million SIBF to complete all 9 razing
projects in the agency's 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan to maximize cost savings
by razing all buildings at once. This would bring the total cost for razing to $3.2
million SIBF for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 130 — Kansas Department of Labor Capital Improvements
The agency requests $1.2 million in capital improvement expenditures for FY 2025,
including $696,000 SGF and $464,000 from the Workers Compensation Fee Fund. This is a
decrease of $230,215, or 16.6 percent, below the revised FY 2024 estimate. The request
includes the following projects:
●REHABILITATION AND REPAIR. The request includes $200,000, including
$120,000 SGF, for general rehabilitation and repair work for FY 2025. These
expenditures reflect yearly requirements to perform general repair work on agency-
owned buildings in Topeka, such as roofing, sidewalk repair, painting, carpeting, and
caulking. These funds also serve as a contingency for needs that materialize during
the year.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 74 - March 10, 2024 ●FIRST-FLOOR RECONFIGURATION. The request includes $250,000, including
$150,000 SGF, to reconfigure the first floor of 401 SW Topeka Blvd. for FY 2025.
Currently, the building contains both meeting rooms and court rooms on the first
floor. The agency indicates many of the judges that work in the building prefer to hold
hearings remotely, only holding in-person hearings as needed. This project would
expand the workspace to provide additional room for staff outside of the Workers
Compensation Division.
●REPLACE ENTRY DOORS . The request includes $210,000, including $126,000
SGF, to replace entry doors at 401 SW Topeka Blvd. and 1309 SW Topeka Blvd. for
FY 2025. This includes three double-entry vestibule doors and three single-entry
doors between both locations. The agency indicates the integrity of these doors are
beginning to fail and that parts are becoming difficult to find.
●REPLACE AIR HANDLERS . The request includes $500,000, including $300,000
SGF, to replace three engineered HVAC units at 1309 SW Topeka Blvd. for FY 2025.
These units provide heating and cooling without remote condensing units or water
supplies. The agency indicates the current units have reached their service limit and
that maintenance costs have become increasingly substantial in the past few years.

capital improvement expenditures for FY 2025.

Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 131 — Kansas Commission on Veterans Affairs Office Capital Improvements

FY 2025. This is a decrease of $18.0 million, or 85.1 percent, and an SGF decrease of
$211,959, or 51.2 percent, below the FY 2024 revised estimate. The decrease is primarily due
to the agency not requesting monies for the construction of the new Northeast Kansas Veterans'
Home for FY 2025. The decrease is also due to the agency's belief that several projects,
including the installation of committal shelter doors at two cemeteries, will be completed in FY
2024.
Included within the request is $2.9 million SIBF for emergency repair and maintenance
projects at both the KVH and KSH. Emergency projects at the KVH include upgrading the
electrical infrastructure for the facility, and emergency projects at the KSH include an HVAC
upgrade, pharmacy expansion, replacement of fire panels, and an IT infrastructure upgrade.
Also included within the request is $291,891 SGF for emergency repair and maintenance
projects at the veterans' cemeteries, including the addition of committal shelter restrooms at
Fort Riley.
The Governor recommends $3.5 million, including $201,980 SGF, for capital
improvements for FY 2025. This is an SIBF increase of $600,000, or 18.3 percent, above the
agency's FY 2025 request. The increase is for the demolition of the Junior Officers Quarters and
Walt Hall at the KSH on Fort Dodge.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 75 - March 10, 2024 HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 132 — Kansas State School for the Blind Capital Improvements
The agency’s request for FY 2025 includes a capital improvements budget of $3.5
million, all from the SIBF, for FY 2025. This is an increase of $48,906, or 1.4 percent, above the

requests. These enhancements include $255,256 SIBF to replace windows in the school and
dormitory buildings, $524,688 SIBF for the final phase of the HVAC replacement project in the
Vogel building, $180,000 SIBF to safely abate and remove asbestos on the campus, $250,000

remodel the campus gym, and $62,998 SIBF to offset the impact of inflation on the base rehab
and repair budget.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 request for capital improvement
expenditures.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 133 — Kansas State School for the Deaf Capital Improvements
The agency submits a revised estimate of expenditures of $2.4 million SIBF for FY
2024. The FY 2024 revised estimate includes a supplemental request totaling $320,000 to offset
unexpected expenditures to repair a ceiling collapse that occurred during the utility service
tunnel repairs ($100,000) and repair water damage to the motor room of the Emery elevator
($220,000).
The Governor's recommendation adds $1 million in federal funds in FY 2024 from the
ARPA Efficiency and Modernization grants to be used for the agency's HVAC projects. This
money was awarded in FY 2023 and inadvertently left out of the agency's revised estimate for
FY 2024.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 134 — Kansas State School for the Deaf
The agency requests $3.4 million SIBF for FY 2025. This estimate includes

removing asbestos found during the utility service tunnel repairs ($180,000 SIBF), repairing

for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Delete $307,030 SIBF for FY 2025 for elevator upgrades and add language directing
the agency to seek an exemption or variance from compliance with provisions of the
regulations adopted pursuant to the Kansas Fire Prevention Code. If the exemption is
not given, use SIBF for the elevator upgrades for FY 2025.
Sec. 135 — State Historical Society Capital Improvements
The agency requests $2.4 million, including $2.3 million SGF, for capital improvements
for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $1.6 million, or 199.5 percent, and an SGF increase
of $1.6 million, or 214.7 percent. The increase is primarily due to the enhancement request for
repairing and replacing air handling units (AHUs) and chiller in the Kansas Museum of History.
The agency's request for FY 2025 includes $375,000 SGF for rehabilitation and repair,
which covers routine maintenance and emergency repairs for the buildings. The request also
includes $1,906,257 SGF to refurbish AHUs at the Kansas Museum of History for FY 2025.
The agency also includes a request for $85,000, all from private gifts and federal
funding, to repair and repoint the brick veneer of Mother's House at Red Rocks for FY 2025.
Red Rocks was the home of journalist William Allen White and his family. The historic site
includes a house for his mother, Mary White (known as Mother's House), which she lived in from
the time it was built until her death in 1924. According to the agency, it has been vacant for 40
years, and due to exterior and interior damage, the foundation has shifted.
The Governor recommends $3.2 million, including $3.1 million SGF, for capital
improvements for FY 2025. This is an increase of $853,743 SGF above the agency's request.
The additional SGF funding is to include the chiller replacement in the Kansas Museum of

request for FY 2025.

Sec. 149 — Kansas Bureau of Investigation – Capital Improvements
The agency submits a revised estimate of $1.2 million, including $300,000 SGF, for
capital improvements in FY 2024. This is no change from the FY 2024 approved amount. The
estimate includes $300,000 SGF for rehabilitation and repair projects and $910,000, all from
federal ARPA funds, for an HVAC system at the Great Bend forensic laboratory.
The Governor concurs with the agency request for FY 2024.
The agency requests $3.4 million, all SGF, for capital improvements for FY 2025. This is
an all funds increase of $2.1 million, including an SGF increase of $3.1 million, above the FY
2024 revised estimate. The agency submits an enhancement request of $3.1 million SGF for an
initial debt service payment on proposed 20-year bonds supporting construction of a KBI
Regional Crime Center and Laboratory in Pittsburg. The current laboratory, located in downtown
Pittsburg, was first leased in 1999 and exhibits persistent maintenance issues that pose health
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 81 - March 10, 2024 and safety concerns. The agency proposes construction of a Regional Crime Center and
Laboratory, which is a collaborative effort with Pittsburg State University (PSU).
The Governor recommends $300,000 SGF for capital improvements for FY 2025. This
is a decrease of $3.1 million SGF below the agency's FY 2025 request. The recommendation
does not include $3.1 million SGF for an initial debt service payment on a proposed Pittsburg
Regional Crime Center and Laboratory.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
FY 2025
1. Add $3.1 million SGF for the initial debt service payment on bonds supporting
construction of a Regional Crime Center and Laboratory in Pittsburg for FY 2025. Add
language for bonding authority in the amount of $40.0 million for FY 2025 to construct
and equip the facility.
Sec. 150 — Kansas Highway Patrol – Capital Improvements
The agency requests $5.7 million, all from special revenue funds, for capital
improvements for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $14.7 million, or 71.8 percent, below the FY
2024 revised estimate. The decrease is attributable to decreased expenditures for major
improvements to the Troop J Training Academy and construction of a new Central Dispatch
Facility occurring in FY 2024 but not reoccurring for FY 2025. The decrease is partially offset by
increased expenditures for the acquisition of the Troop B Headquarters in Shawnee County and
an aircraft hangar in Hays.
The Governor recommends $3.5 million, all from special revenue funds, in capital
improvements expenditures for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $2.3 million below the FY 2025
request. The decrease is due to the Governor not recommending purchase of the Troop B
Headquarters facility in Shawnee County for FY 2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 151 — Adjutant General – Capital Improvements
The agency requests $20.0 million, including $3.5 million SGF, for capital improvements
for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $45.6 million, including an SGF decrease of $18.6
million, below the FY 2023 revised estimate.
The SGF decrease is primarily attributable to expenditures for construction of a new
National Guard armory in Hays that occurred in FY 2024 but do not reoccur for FY 2025. The all
funds decrease is primarily attributable to expenditures from federal ARPA funds for the SDB
remodel that occur in FY 2024 but do not reoccur for FY 2025.
●REHABILITATION AND REPAIR. The request includes $2.0 million SGF for
rehabilitation and repair among 39 armories and other National Guard facilities.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 82 - March 10, 2024 Projects include physical security upgrades, code compliance, and utility
infrastructure replacement less than $25,000.
●DEFERRED MAINTENANCE. The request includes $1.5 million SGF for renovation
and modernization of 39 armories and other National Guard facilities. Expenditures
include large restoration projects, HVAC replacement, roof replacement, energy
efficiency measures, and exterior improvements.
●FEDERAL MATCH. The request includes $13.5 million, all from federal funds, which
is provided through the federal National Guard Bureau as match for rehabilitation
and repair projects and deferred maintenance of armories and other National Guard
facilities.
●GREAT BEND FMS. The request includes $3.0 million, all from federal funds, for the
final phase in remodeling the Field Maintenance Shop (FMS) at the Great Bend
Armory. The project includes construction of a maintenance bay and alliterations to
existing bays. The shop provides maintenance services for 115 vehicles assigned to
units in western Kansas.
The Governor concurs with the agency's request for capital improvements for FY 2025.
However, the Governor recommends merging expenditures for deferred maintenance with
expenditures for rehabilitation and repair. This adjustment provides a total of $3.5 million SGF
for rehabilitation and repair, which includes projects requested under both categories for FY
2025.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 152 — Kansas State Fair – Capital Improvements
The agency requests capital improvement expenditures totaling $941,735, all from
special revenue funds, for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $13.5 million below the FY 2024
revised estimate. The decrease is entirely attributable to projects being completed in FY 2024
and not being carried over into FY 2025. These decreases are partially offset by increased
estimates for ongoing maintenance on the State Fairgrounds for FY 2025.
The Governor concurs with the agency's FY 2025 request for capital improvement
projects.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation.
Sec. 153 — Department of Wildlife and Parks – Capital Improvements
The agency requests FY 2025 capital improvements expenditures of $33.2 million,
including $200,000 SGF. This is an all funds increase of $957,674, or 3.0 percent, above the FY
2024 revised estimate. This increase is primarily attributable to increased estimates for Parks
Maintenance and the agency's enhancement requests.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 83 - March 10, 2024 The Governor recommends expenditures totaling $31.4 million, including $200,000 SGF
for capital improvement projects for FY 2025. This is a decrease of $1.8 million, or 5.5 percent,
all from special revenue funds, below the agency's revised estimate for FY 2025.

Kansas Legislative Research Department - 86 - March 10, 2024 Sec. -- — Kansas State Department of Education
FY 2024: The agency requests a revised estimate of $6.7 billion, including $4.6 billion
SGF, in expenditures and 267.85 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds decrease of
$60.2 million, or 0.9 percent, and an SGF decrease of $84.0 million, or 1.8 percent, below the
amount approved by the 2023 Legislature.
The SGF decrease is due to the agency's adjustments in State Foundation Aid and
Supplemental State Aid to match the Spring 2023 Education Consensus Estimate ($84.1 million
SGF). The all funds decrease is mainly due to the SGF decrease, which is partially offset by an
increase in revised estimates for COVID-19 federal funding-related expenditures. There is an
increase of $22.3 million, mainly in Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief
(ESSER) III and Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) funding, which the
agency indicates will be used to pay the balance of existing contracts, including $12.7 million for
EANS I and EANS II contracts, $10.9 million for learning loss contracts, and $1.7 million for
summer enrichment contracts. The ESSER III money must be spent within FY 2024 and the first
three months of FY 2025.
The Governor recommends $6.7 billion, including $4.6 billion SGF, in expenditures and
267.85 FTE positions in FY 2024. This is an all funds increase of $7.3 million, or 0.1 percent,
and an SGF decrease of $13.1 million, or 0.3 percent, from the agency's revised estimate in FY
2024. The only adjustments recommended by the Governor were to reflect the updated Fall
2023 Education Consensus Estimates.
FY 2025: The agency requests $6.6 billion, including $4.9 billion SGF, in expenditures
and 268.9 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds decrease of $135.0 million, or 2.0
percent, and an SGF increase of $336.4 million, or 7.3 percent, above the revised FY 2024
estimate.
The SGF increase is mainly due to expected increases in State Foundation Aid of
$240.8 million, Special Education Services Aid of $94.0 million, and Supplemental State Aid of
$20.0 million, offset by a decrease in KPERS-USD contributions of $20.1 million, according to
the Spring 2023 Education Caseloads Estimates.
The all funds decrease is primarily due to a decrease in federal aid to local units of
$420.0 million, mainly due to the end of ESSER III grant funding. Additionally, the expenditures
from the statewide 20-mill tax levy for K-12 education is budgeted to decrease by $15.9 million,
according to the Spring 2023 Education Caseloads Estimate. These decreases are partially
offset by the SGF increase from the Spring 2023 Caseloads Estimates.
The Governor recommends $6.6 billion, including $5.0 billion SGF, in expenditures and
267.9 FTE positions for FY 2025. This is an all funds increase of $22.3 million, or 0.3 percent,
and an SGF increase of $54.1 million, or 1.1 percent, above the agency's FY 2025 request. The
Governor's recommendation includes the changes recommended from the Fall 2023 Education
Consensus Estimates, an all funds decrease of $5.2 million, including a decrease of $66.0
million SGF.
Kansas Legislative Research Department - 87 - March 10, 2024 The Governor's recommendation also includes a reduction of $93.4 million to the School
District Finance Fund from the 20-mill property tax. The Governor recommends replacing this
money with SGF funds.
The Governor's recommendation also includes three of the agency's enhancement
requests for FY 2025, an additional $3.0 million SGF to increase the number of school districts
in the MHIT pilot program; an additional $1.0 million SGF to fully fund the Mentor Teachers
program; and an additional $1.9 million SGF for professional development state aid. The
recommendation also includes a modified version of the agency's enhancement request for
Special Education State Aid. The Governor recommends including an increase of $74.9 million
SGF for the first year of a five-year plan to increase Special Education State Aid to 92.0 percent.
The recommendation also includes an additional $4.0 million SGF so the agency can
develop parallel assessments for virtual students for the annual state assessment, and includes
three enhancements within the Children's Cabinet, including an additional $35.0 million SGF
and $815,000 from the Children's Initiatives Fund (CIF).
FY 2026: The Governor recommends expenditures of $4.3 billion, including $4.3 billion
SGF, for FY 2026. The Governor's recommendation only includes State Foundation Aid,
Supplemental State Aid, Special Education Services Aid, the State School District Finance
Fund, and the Mineral Production Education Fund.
HOUSE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION . The House Committee concurs with the
Governor's recommendation with the following adjustment:
1. Delete the Education budget and add to a separate education bill for FY 2024, FY
2025, and FY 2026.

Economic Development Initiatives Fund (EDIF) Overview
The statutes governing the EDIF provide that it shall be used to finance programs ". . . supporting and enhancing the
existing economic foundation of the state and fostering growth . . . to the state’s economic foundation." With the exception
of a statutory $2.0 million transfer from the EDIF to the State Water Plan Fund, the Legislature annually appropriates the EDIF
for individual projects and programs deemed to support and enhance the state’s economic foundation.
The EDIF is funded through the State Gaming Revenues Fund (SGRF). A portion of state revenue from both the
Lottery and parimutuel wagering is transferred to the SGRF. That fund is used essentially as a holding fund from which further
transfers are made on a monthly basis. No more than $50.0 million may be credited to the SGRF in any fiscal year. Amounts
in excess of $50.0 million are credited to the State General Fund.
The initial transfers from the State Gaming Revenue Fund, which began in 1986, were as follows:
1. County Reappraisal Fund (until June 30, 1989) - 30.0%
2. Split between Juvenile Detention Facilities Fund and Correctional Institutions Building Fund (Actual
amount to be determined by appropriations act) - 10.0%
3. Economic Development Initiatives Fund (to be increased to 90.0% as of July 1, 1989) - 60.0%
During the 1988 Session, the Legislature delayed the increase in the transfer to the EDIF until July 1, 1990.
During the 1994 Session, the Legislature changed the transfers as of July 1, 1995 to the following:
1. Correctional Institutions Building Fund - 10.0%
2. Juvenile Detention Facilities Fund - 5.0%
3. Economic Development Initiatives Fund - 85.0%
During the 2000 Session, the Legislature changed the transfers to the following:
1. Economic Development Initiatives Fund—$42,432,000;
2. Correctional Institutions Building Fund—$4,992,000;
3. Juvenile Detention Facilities Fund—$2,496,000; and
4. Problem Gambling Grant Fund—$80,000.
During the 2009 Session, the Legislature changed the transfers to the following for FY 2009 and FY 2010
1. Economic Development Initiatives Fund - $40,782,869
2. Correction Institutions Building Fund - $4,797,985
3. Juvenile Detention Facilities Fund - $2,398,992
4. Problem Gambling Grant Fund - $80,000
